I ran it in several tanks of fuel at different strengths, didn't see anything but my wallet lighter.

I read alot about this on line. I think its like the 2- stroke oil in our fuel debate. Personally I wouldn't put acetone in my diesel, not saying it is not contained in some of the conditioners/ cleaners available, but at full strength I won't take the chance of ruining something in the expensive CR system.

i have a L10 cummins in one of my dump trucks every so often after it sits for a few days it runs like crap think an injector or 2 are hanging. i put 91% alcohol from wal mart in it and it fixes the problem and runs a little better. pretty cheap 2.50 for a quart bottle. could try that

TDR magazine once had a blip that said acetone and alcohol harm fuel systems in our rigs, not to use products containing either.

Myth Buster shot it down. No improvement.

Acetone is a strong solvent and will dissolve many types of plastics. Wear wear levels (less lubricity) through the roof and attacks all sorts of other parts besides the pumps and injectors.
