No but I knew this tweaker dude back in the day,
that used paint thinner to run a generator.
I ran for a little while.

"Not more than three oz. per 10 gallons."
It's kind of an old article, there surely is some follow up somewhere.

must be. My main concern was the effects it would have to your engine? Supposedly its not good with plastic.

At this concentration the only probable benefit is the cleaning effect that the acetone would have on the fuel injectors. As far as the possible problems that the acetone could could cause, keep in mind that acetone is sold in plastic at Bunnings.
It would probably work well on an old gummed up set of injectors, just like the ones that the people on the 'hypermilers' forums seem to test the acetone on.
My preference is for the marine 2 stroke additive that is doing the rounds.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Just got off the showroom floor, now lets fix it.
I've tried it with limited success. I have friends that claim great MPG increases. The best I've seen that I could confirm from it was 10%. I thought it might help me to run mid- grade or regular in my vehicle that requires premium, but it didn't. It also doesn't seem to help with any fuel that has alcohol added to it.
ya i have tried this in many vechiles works good a inj. cleaner

have you ever heard of it damaging your injector seals? or any other seals for that matter?
