As soon as acetone was mentioned on the list I thought it was in response to a guest on the Art Bell radio show last week. Guest made all sorts of claims about the conspiracy to keep the driving public from using acetone. I don't really listen to this show---just happens to be on before I go to sleep. While I wont be running any acetone in my vanagon (173,550 miles), I am keenly interested in getting some "energized water" for my coolant mix. I remember hearing about it on same show/ different date. I figure this "power water" could restore 100K miles to my engine.
