It is a type of methanol/xylene proprietary mix. Just mixing the two in the same proportions won'tcut it. It is the process of how it is mixed.

Anyway, it concentrates the heat into the fuel mixture better and helps with a moisture barrier onthe walls (not water)...more of the fuel burns, cleans out the engine, reduces emissions.

Pentagon tested in on jet simulator at wright patterson AFB and it reduced particulate emissionsby OVER 55%.

DOT in Florida tested over 12% gain in fuel mileage on their fleet.

The bioperformance fuel pills did wonders for me too but the rxp generation ii is more consistent.

I'm going to test it with the efie when I get it installed. Just got it put in a box, bench test wentwell, not doing pre-installation test.

IntroductionOriginally authored by Steve D. GageA report of independent testing done January through June of 2008.My thanks to Mr. Louis LaPointe, who was brave enough to begin the Internet controversy overthe use of alcohol and acetone as fuels or fuel additives. I am reporting the data I have uncoveredand tested in the last few months, which gave DRAMATIC results.Point 1NOTE: See Addendum, below, for corrections to this article.--Behindbarsbimbo 09:21, 22 February2010 (PST) Both acetone and ethanol molecules contain one atom of Oxygen and 6 atoms ofHydrogen. They are both considered as "Oxygenated" fuels, because of the Oxygen atom in both Ethanol is mandated by the Federal Government to be used as an additive to gasoline, tolower emissions. The decision as to this being done, and at what percentages of ethanol to add isleft to individual states. It is a fact that ethanol does in fact lower emissions. The explanation for this effect beingthe Oxygen atom in the molecule.Point 2 Both Acetone and Ethanol have incredibly high EVAPORATION rates. Gasoline has a lowevaporation rate in comparison. All liquids evaporate, at different rates. Even water evaporates. When a liquid evaporates, it COOLS the air it is in contact with. This is why when on a hotsummer day, if you get close to a stream or river, you will feel the air temperature drop, near it. When air is cooled, it CONDENSES.Point 3 Via the EXTREME cooling of the air going into the intake of an engine, by both Acetone andEthanol, MUCH more air in pounds is taken into the cylinders. Condensation of air means more iscompressed into each stroke of intake. This results in a LEANER mixture of fuel:air in the combustion. This leaner, highly Oxygenated mixture is what actually causes a drop in emissionHydrocarbons and CO. Documentation: 3 emissions tests on Honda Accord - note approximate 4000% increase inO2 content when Acetone was added. As well, that first two tests failed but last one,with acetone, passed.[1]Point 4 Simply adding either Acetone or Ethanol results, via the leaning effect, in worse and worseMPG, the more you use. The idea that simply using ethanol is good for the environment, and creates less emissionsis INCORRECT. The common and strongest ethanol fuel on the market is known as "E85". It is 15%gasoline and 85% ethanol. Yes, it reduces emissions, via the leaning effect, BUT GIVES *20% LESMPG than gasoline, thus giving an overall reduction in emissions PER MILE which is near null.Point 5 Acetone has a much greater condensation of air effect than Ethanol, thus MPG drops MUCHfaster as percentage added is increased. The negative effect on MPG of both Acetone and Ethanol, can be REVERSED, to cause anINCREASE in MPG over gasoline, with acetone being needed in much smaller amounts than

ethanol and at much less cost.Point 6"The Secret"

Test results from January to June, 2008:Test car: 1985 Ford T-Bird 5.0L V8 EPA rating 15 MPG city and 22 MPG highway.Emissions test using pure 87 octane gas resulted in Hydrocarbons of 190ppm at idle. Fail is 220.O2 was 1.5%. This was suggestive of a small exhaust leak, which the O2 sensor read andrichened fuel:air mixture a little too much.Emissions test using 1 oz. Acetone to 1 gal. gasoline resulted in Hydrocarbons dropping to111ppm at idle. O2 at 1.5%.Highway test with this mixture resulted in 23.5 MPG. According to data on the internet, at this

very high amount of acetone, MPG should have dropped far below factory. That it actually got

slightly better than factory gave away the secret. The slight exhaust leak had richened themixture of fuel:air and caused a SLIGHT utilization of the acetone.I saw that the O2 sensor played a part in my results. What I did next was create an INTENTIONALslight exhaust leak, in front of the sensor to increase O2 in exhaust, to cause computer to richeneven more. [leak causes sucking in of fresh air].Emissions test resulted in increase of Hydrocarbons from the previous 111ppm to 144ppm at idleO2 went from 1.5% up to 5.2%Noticeable increase in HP of at least 25%.Multiple hwy. tests revealed 45mpg.

This is slightly more than a 100% increase over factory.Tested at .7 oz. per gal. went down to 41 MPG.Tested at 2 oz. per gal. went down to 30 MPG.By process of elimination, the best acetone mix for my current fuel:air richness is around 1 oz. pegal.

The secret, known to racing technology, banned and forgotten a half a century ago, is that suchfuels as acetone REQUIRE richening of the fuel:air mixture to make use of them. It is said that inthose early days of racing, some used as much as 10% acetone additive. I am using less than 1%Specifically 1:128.With my emissions at slightly cleaner than gasoline, but my MPG at double what it was, a REALREDUCTION IN EMISSIONS has been achieved. Fully 50% reduction.

The recent G8 summit set the goal of reducing emissions by 50% by the year 2050. PresidentBush has signed in to law the requirement for vehicles to get 37mpg by 2020.We have the technology RIGHT NOW to achieve this IMMEDIATELY.Reprogramming auto computers is already possible and programs and devices are on the marketto do so.A simple solution for the do-it-yourself mechanic, until the use of the technology becomesaffordable and the additives are at the pump, is to TRICK your O2 sensors into making thecomputer richen. This can be done by either creating an exhaust leak in front of the sensor or byremoving the sensor from the exhaust and letting it read pure atmosphere, which is 20.9% O2.

The latter will richen mixture to MAXIMUM allowing the most acetone possible and the most HPAND MPG. I have not tried the latter and do not know how well it would work or to what level ofincrease in HP and MPG might be possible. Try this at YOUR OWN RISK.Note: New vehicles will FAIL EMISSIONS TESTS if too much O2 is reported by the computer. Somake your exhaust leak sealable and reseal it for your test. If you remove the sensor, simplyreplace for the test.Environmental impact of acetone is far less than an oil spill.See: Acetone Environmental Effects[The Acetone] brand I used is Kleen Strip.

The test car used was a 1985. There is no way to directly reprogram the computer. Thus, theexhaust leak 'trick' was the only way. Car is only able to make use of 1 oz. per gal. On both oldercars with carburators and newer cars, that can be reprogrammed directly, with devices, such asat jetchip.com, it is likely that a much richer setting can be achieved, allowing use of much morethan 1 oz. of acetone per gallon of gas. Potential gains in MPG may be as high as 400% increase.--Behindbarsbimbo 14:41, 6 Aug 2008 (EDT)Photo of Test Car1985 T-Bird [3]Sept. 4, 08. 400% EPA MPG Accomplished--Behindbarsbimbo 15:01, 4 Sep 2008 (EDT) Increased to 1.25 Oz. Acetone per gallon of gas.Increased 02 percentage to sensor from 5.2 to 6.1. Highway test revealed 89MPG. EPA factory is22MPG. 400% EPA factory is 88MPG. Hydrocarbons up from privious 144ppm to 186ppm. Fuel/airrichening was obviously accomplished. Burns dirtier, BUT at DOUBLE the previous 45MPG, andQUADRUPLE EPA factory 22MPG. Fail in Idaho for a 1985 is 220ppm. Passed wonderfully. With it's20 gallon tank, hwy. range is now 1700+ miles per tank. NOTE: Ran 89 octane gas this time. Withthe near 1% acetone mixture, adding to that, should be about 90 octane. As more acetone is useit is likely compression pressure goes up. Higher octane seemed to be a good bet, even though Ihad no octane knock with the 87 octane gas.

Targeting Big Rig Diesels--Behindbarsbimbo 13:46, 1 October 2008 (PDT) It is Documented[[4]] at this site, that the use ofacetone has a positive effect on big rig diesels. Considering that it is the big rigs who use themajority of all petroleum consumed in the U.S., This should be a target area for this technology.Like new autos, big rigs are also computer controlled. But computer altering progams and devicecan be designed, just as they have been for gasoline autos. There is even now, adjustable O2sensors available on the net, for autos. Big rigs are the obvious target area that would do themost good toward reducing emissions, dependence on oil, price of transportation of goods andthus PRICE of goods. Lowering demand for diesel would also drop the price of oil itself, and thusgas and diesel. Increasing the acetone level to 1 oz. or more, per gal. of diesel, while at the sametime richening the fuel:air mixture, to compensate for the added intake of O2, caused by theacetone, could very wellDouble the typical 6 or 7 MPG they get to 12 to 14 MPG. This, a 50%increase in efficiency, if done by all big rigs, would decrease U.S. emissions and oil consumptiondramatically. Perhaps, even making the U.S. independent of foreign oil.October 7.

Conspiracy against use of Acetone? July, 2009The use of gasoline with 10% Ethanol, known as E-10, has become so common in the U.S., thatmany states now have NO PURE GASOLINE available at all. It is now known that E-10, if acetone i

added, will give WORSE mileage than factory. I was incorrect in that Ethanol evaporatesanywhere near as fast as acetone. As well that Ethanol can create the same effect as Acetone. Itis interesting to note that the nation wide switch to E-10 began immediately following the publicstatement on July 15, 2008 by the chairman of the Federal Reserve, that high gas prices weredriving down consumption. This timing also coincides with my conversation at the yahoo grouppes_acetone and with the local media about having achieved 45mpg hwy. from a V8 full size car,with acetone additive. Sterling Allan had been asking me to write an article, here, on thistechnology. The timing of the date I wrote this article, above, matches within 4 days of the actionof the Fed, on July 15, 2008. My point being that the switch to E-10 prevents the use of acetone toREDUCE CONSUMPTION. So here we are a year after I wrote this article, with CONSUMPTION andPROFIT for those who benefit, very much to their liking. Use acetone now, in E-10, and yourconsumption will increase, not decrease. Pretty good trick. And let us not forget that the use of

GRAINS to make the Ethanol has caused the prices of food to increase. --Behindbarsbimbo 10:11,12 July 2009 (PDT)Addendum. Resulting Technology, corrections.Although the logic and results of the testing stated in the article are true, I did make some errorsin writing it. After further investigation I made the determination that in fact the 02 sensor on thiscar is on the right side manifold, 'in front of' the intentional exhaust leak. The exhaust leak 'didnot' affect the sensor. As it turns out, that sensor had been 'dead' all along. When sensors aredisabled, computer automatically goes to default of 'medium rich'. When I loosened exhaustmanifold in front of catalytic converters, it simply allowed the exhaust to improve, as 'converterstested as clogged'. The car ran too rich to begin with because of the dead sensor, not an exhaustleak. This is what ruined the converters, long before I bought the car. Once the exhaust leak wasmade, at 1oz. acetone per gallon gas, the engine seemed to sound like it was running a little leanIt was sputtering a bit at an idle. I made an adjustment, which I later learned was that I hadincreased 'injection pressure' by adjusting injection pressure regulator. It then began to runsmooth again. So in doing that, I increased gas flow 'even more', perhaps too much in fact.

The resulting lessons and technology learned from what is now 2 years of research is as follows:Both acetone [in pure gas] and ice in front of air intake [any fuel] creates 'increased air intake'. Ttake advantage of this to gain HP and MPG one must increse fuel flow. This can be done in anumber of ways, including disabling 02 sensors [idiot light may come on however], and byinstalling an 'adjustable' fuel injection pressure regulator. Most cars are not adjustable fromfactory. Both the use of acetone and ice will 'only increase MPG at higher RPM range', because incity driving 'low RPMs does not create enough air flow' to compensate for increased fuel flow.

Thus, at low RPMs the vehicle will run too rich. Running too rich eventually destroys converters.The simple solution to this problem is to put a fan in front of intake, to force air induction at allRPMs. A multiple speed fan would be preferable. With forced air induction, one will see improvedMPG without damage to converters, 'with or without' acetone. Ideally, one should aquire access ta shop with gas analysis equipment/emissions testing equipment. Then one can make surehydrocarbons stay low enough after modifications, so as not to harm converters. If hydrocarbonsare too high, one must increase air flow or decrease gas flow. The hydrocarbons ppm stated inthe article were the 'low RPM readings' which were too high. At high RPMs hydrocarbons weremuch lower. Although some people have done this, removing your converters is not a good idea,as there is a $25,000 fine for removing them, if you get caught. I did not remove mine, I onlyrelieved excess back pressure by loosening exahust. On an 85 it is legal to have exhaust leaks. Ifdone properly, one can achieve high MPG without any modifications to exhaust, as I did, becausea functional converter does not produce excess back pressure.--Behindbarsbimbo 09:13, 22February 2010 (PST)"Mileage Master" video now available.
