TCW3 plus Acetone

[Mephy]

Hello I used for very long time TCW3 oil in the gas at ration 600:1.

I made a mix of TCW3 and Acetone at ratio on 1:4 and I add the mix in the gas at ratio 1:150.

The improvement that I saw is the response of car, I think due to the superior evaporation of Acetone, basically I dry up the gas from the wetness of TCW3 and the stability of gas since the acetone has 100 octane.

What?

If you dry up the wetness then why add the wetness?

The Acetone is dry the tcw3 is wet so that's why I changed the formula, TCW3 for me is a must in the gas.

This thread makes no sense.

An understatement.

Are you driving a two cycle car?

Are you driving a two cycle car?

Or a rotary with no metering valve?

Did you ever hear that some people put a small amount of 2 cycle oil in the gas?

I have for 4 stroke OPE to protect the small orifices in the carbs while in storage.
Used to add to my diesel army truck.
Do not for my every day drivers.
Acetone? To dry up the wetness from the 2 stroke oil?
I knew a kid who ate his chemistry set. Wilky was never the same.
Merry Christmas

There’s a degree of merit in diluting the TCW3 to increase the volume just to make it easier to measure when pouring it into the gas. I don’t know if I would choose acetone unless I had a fairly cheap supply. Maybe naphtha?

I did not see a noticeable improvement of milage compared to only tcw3, but for sure the car start easier especially in the cold weather.

What brand of tcw3 are you using?

Good question I tried many and I found the best Tcw3 on my opinion ,very robust oil, the brand is Mystik and the type is All In One .....the best

or you could dilute with gas

 

[Mephy]

or you could dilute with gas

Yes, but I had 2 reasons to come up with this idea
1) to increase the evaporation
2) to increase the octane

Evaporation of what?

And increase octane? How much acetone are you adding to the 20+ gallons of gas in your tank?

 

[350Rocket]

I understand adding tcw3 but I don't understand the acetone. I don't understand why evaporating easily is a benefit?

Well the gas becomes more stable for sure i can feel on acceleration i use 87 regular acetone is 100 40l of gas 320 ml of the mix

The tcw3 reduce the evaporation of gas infact i could not go to 1:500 mix as many do i went 1:600.
Where i live is cold and i had problem at start of engine. The acetone compensate the side effect of tcw3.
