Acitone being a solvent/degreaser it would probably rust your gas tank (if metal) or gas lines depending if it sits long enough.

I agree with all the comments regarding "not" to do this. Acetone is corrosive as has been mentioned, and also can eat certain plastics. Since modern injection systems use a major amount of plastics as well as rubber of various types this could set you up for major repairs. I have heard of folks adding this and also xylene I think it was but with mixed results on the mileage and only on old carbureted vehicles. If it was that easy then the gas companies would be adding to their fuels and claiming improved mileage.

It will eat the fuel lines...... I have had 2 cars come into the shop and one was hole in fuel line other was bad fuel pump because it ate the rubber seals out of the pump and couldnt build any pressure.....DONT DO IT UNLESS YOU JUST WANT TO SPEND MONEY. and if that is the case I can tell you where Im located...also look at everyone elses answer on this and everyone that says NO is probably really close to what else could happen.....

Acetone can dry out your cylinders and possibly cause a piston to stick, leading to extensive engine damage. Another possibility is that it does not have a high resistance to engine knock and cause detonation.

No and don't...this will cause more harm than good. Your system is not set up to handle this and acetone is very corrosive.

Can you do that!
Or would it not burn out the valves?
