Where should I store the acetone?

Directory:Acetone Additive:FAQ - PESWiki
In your car, you will want to have a way to keep the drips and spills from the acetone from getting onto other things.

But remember, the acetone is not contained by cheap plastics. See similar questions...

When do I add acetone: before or after adding fuel?

Directory:Acetone Additive:FAQ - PESWiki
You may need to add fuel first to get a measurement of gallons added to know how much acetone to add. If you are good at reading your gas gauge, to know about how many gallons will be required to fill the tank, then you can. Once you know your gauge:gallon relationship, you can add a fixed amount before the "full" point is reached, so that you can add the acetone first.. See similar questions...

How well does Acetone mix with fuel?

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. So far, reports have varied quite a bit, from high increased mileage (25% highest reported so far), to no noticeable change, to slight drops in mileage in one case. A majority who have tried it and reported have seen a modest increase in mileage (between 2 and 10%). See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

HOW CAN I STORE BATTERIES?

DEEP CYCLE BATTERY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Batteries naturally self-discharge 1% to 15% per month while in storage, and lead sulfation will start occurring when the state-of-charge drops below 80%. If left in a vehicle, disconnecting the negative cable will reduce the level of discharge by eliminating the parasitic load. Cold will slow the self-discharge process down and heat will speed it up.
