Save gas money with HOMEMADE additives? Experiment (Part 1)
May 24, 2009 Save Fuel
Top Sites For Money Saving Tips:
This is Video 1 in the experiment to get better gas milage MPG and save money by using HOMEmade additives that you yourself can make at home with very little effort. I am running some control test for mpg and then experiment with a Homemade gas additive formula and compare and review the differences. (Part 1) DO NOT go adding chemicals to your gas tank. DO YOUR research before you do ANYTHING!! This is NOT a guide! I am NOT a scientest, it is only a video log of my experimentations and …

This is Bullshit you cant be DRIVING AT 75mph at 1000 rpms show the fucking speed to mf!!!!!!!!!

I have an 04 durango with a 5.7 liter hemi, and it will move right along on level ground at 75mph and tach at about 1200rpms. Modern trannies and torque converters will allow for a partial disengage causing a drop in rpms. When towing my boat at 75mph i’m looking about about 3200 rpms with the torque converter locked up. I used my vehicle cause i would imagine he may have the same 5.7 hemi in his jeep. Made by chrysler corp.

Definantly noticed a difference even after i went back over the test with pure gas. so it did clean the engine and it ran better even after the experiment.

not yet. but in the small amounts i am using 2-3 ozs in 18 gallons, Just don’t use a high % of acetone unless your trying to clean your engine lol

Wouldnt this be the same as using seafoam in your gas tank. Its suppose to clean your engine so maybe it would be better but not destroy rubber seals.

It may be an idea to note the prevailing wind conditions on the days you test. A head or tailwind can skew your results also.

PLEASE know your what you puting into your tank. Acetone is extreamly corrosive to rubber parts. Depending on the year and make of your vehicle 2 to 3 ounces can be WAY to much if used more then a few times. Yes it will clean out your engine BUT might also ruin the rubber seals and stopers. do NOT use ‘regular’ acetone you buy at homedepot. If your using acetone especially in this dosage get the correct PURE acetone. Best place is a nail salon NOT lowes because it isn’t pure.

Got regular acetone, added about 2-3 ounces and noticed a good increase with the MPG. From 18 to 28 MPG!

Has this eaten your seals and other rubber parts like other claim?

Progressive fuel economy improvement over days… sounds likes the injectors and intake valves are progressively getting cleaned by the acetone, giving better fuel atomisation. Try running straight gas again and check your fuel economy.

looking forward to seeing part 2.
May 24th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Got all the numbers done .. just gotta get some time to put it all in Vid format
May 24th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
depends what gear your in. (if your driving stick obviously)
May 24th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Id like to see you do the same exact test like 3 different days and times to see if it all stays consistent
May 24th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
I would test the effect of acetone on your rubber seals and fuel pump wires! Acetone WILL desolve them over a relitively short time less than 100k miles.
May 24th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Sweet let me know how it goes. Everything for me has been put on hold for a while. looks like i am having to move.. am continuing with experiment but cann’t make a Vid for a few weeks unfortunantly. don’t forget to Rate / subscribe

Good experiment Mefoo. I think the control was just fine. Your vehicles fuel system might be returnless or it have a return line in which case fuel is constantly flowing back to the tank. I wouldn’t hold the scangauge in such high regard. I calculates mileage the same way your ECU does. The major factors it looks at is MPH/ODO, engine RPM and most importantly, Injector pulse width. The scan guage is more of a novelty item. Avg is all that matters. Im doing this to my Satrn today w/xylene alone.

This initial data is completly experimental i am just showing the readings as they come ;). I am not trying to keep anypart of this recipe secret it is published knoledge.

Just got back from NC and VA. Yea this sounds like it will get me closest to decent comparison. Bought the 5gallon gas tank today to get me to gas station when empty. going to run test from full to empty and compare from there. This will be in part 3 of 3. part 2 will be quick as far as some adujustments to the mixture to make it less detrimental to rubber parts. also will run through the xylol and the acitone properties.

duster has the right idea. This test was simply to see if i saw enough if any difference at all to push the subject for another test. A scan Gauge II will be on order as soon as i can scrape up some change. they run about $170 but get exact accurate data. thanks for the comments duster
10 minutes goes by fast in these vids didn’t have time to explain much. Will get into more detail in next vid also show some links for my reseach. If anyone else has tried this please post your findings.

don’t waste money on a scangauge, just determine the total fuel capacity of your tank, run it empty, then when you fill it again, mathematically determine the total fuel added! I do not consider a scangauge any more reliable for true scientific evaluation than I do the $1000 dollar plus ecu built into your car, many errors can occur with simple instrumentation! just measure actual fuel burned! your cars odometer and simple calculation will satisfy most anyone I know.

Thanks for the fore warning. I thought the new scan gauges had a few more bells and whistles with the data dumps of the new computers but i could be wrong. Have a good sugestion to get a better reading?
May 24th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
don’t get me wrong, I like scangauges, I just would be skeptical about trusting their data as concrete for the testing you are working on. I really think I would go with just my odometer (which is required by law to be accurate within a pretty good range) and calculating the total fuel burned in each test. its a little extra number crunching for the researcher, but I think I would trust the data more than data generated by an external devise. good instrumentation is expensive!

since the built in fuel efficiency meters usually have an error range of 10-15% and are there only for basic information I think that using them for all your experimental data is flawed. also you would see HUGE reduction by just slowing down by 10mph, since parasitic drag is related to the square of velocity (every time speed doubles drag quadruples). but like I said, I like the idea of what you are doing. but given the methodology of your experimental procedure, I can only give it three stars.
