What does acetone do to engine components?

Directory:Acetone Additive:FAQ - PESWiki
A wide array of engine components have been immersed for years in pure acetone and have held up well. CAUTION: Acetone degrades cheaper plastics. While we would expect that all components used in all automobiles would be of a more durable nature, this may not necessarily be the case. There could be serious problems if a cheap component gave out in the fuel system. Be sure your system is of high quality before trying acetone.

Will acetone increase mileage of all cars?

Directory:Acetone Additive:FAQ - PESWiki
It does appear to be conditional on concentration. Not all cars perform the same with the same ratio of acetone-to-fuel.

A majority who have tried it and reported have seen a modest increase in mileage (between 2 and 10%).

I want to use my bike (or walk) to bring a bottle of acetone to another building, is that OK?

Safety & Health Services - Haz Mat Transportaion FAQs
Technically transporting a hazardous material in anything other than a motorized vehicle is not covered by DOT. However, you must use some common sense to assure that you do not put yourself or others at risk. For example a glass bottle falling out of a bike basket would likely break if it fell out, while a small can of dry material probably wouldn't. Packaging is the most significant aspect to safely transporting hazardous material; see your POC or SME for guidance.
