<DIV>Tom, without going into the Chemistry, the two materials, Acetone and
Methanol, are fairly similar chemically. Sort of like second cousins. Each
substance contains an oxygen atom per molecule, but the Acetone is the
bigger molecule. They each provide Oxygen to the burn, except Methanol just a
bit more. It's not as simple as I state but you get the idea. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Acetone is considerably more volatile than MeOH so if allowed even little
room exposure, the stuff will probably evaporate.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Neither brings as much oxygen to the party as Nitro Methane.
So to answer your question, yes it does something but it's doubtfull you would
notice it, the differences being so small. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If we were running gasoline power plants then it could assist the burn
some, but again 1 to 3% is very small</DIV>
