has anyone on the list tried <http://lubecontrol.com/>  LC20 and FP60.
They are additives for fuel and oil. I've got a friend who adds them to
his Honda and has been very happy with the results. That said I wasn't
sure how it would work with older engines. The savings seems to be in
longer periods between oil changes and improved fuel millage.

Dan,
    I would not use acetone in any vehicle as this can
be very corrosive to plastic and rubber materials.
Alcohols and xylenes work for most cleaning jobs and I
will use acetone on most metals but avoid using
acetone if you are not sure if there is rubber or
certain kinds of plastics.
    I recall burning excess acetone in my 1974 audi
some years back.   It did a number on my fuel pump.

I was talking with my brother regarding the acetone
discussion on this
list.  He said that he had heard about it and sent me
some links to
more information.  Just thought I would pass those
links along...

For anyone who would like to have more info on the
subject:
