Default T? or F? Acetone In Fuel Said to Increase Mileage

Gee, if a little acetone will do this much good just think about what
putting MEK into the tank will do for your mileage...


Hey! I have a bunch of MEKP. It's *almost* the same thing except for a
few extra oxygen atoms. I'm afraid the IO-470N in the Deb has too
much compression so we might have to use Fat Albert with those lower
compression engines.:-))

Kinda reminds me of a guy who ran up the engines on his Queen Air up
at Terry's. They have manually adjustable waste gates on the turbos.
Blew one of the jugs right off the engine. As I recall the case wasn't
left in that great a shape either.
