Why not go a little further.  Is anyone on this list actively using
acetone in their gas and how long have they been doing so?

Before you guys get all fired up about acetone you should get yourself a
steel coffee can and soak some of your Vanagon fuel line, injector
seals, push rod seals, head gasket seals, valve cover gaskets, main
seals in it for a week before you start priming your tanks with the
stuff. I'd also be concerned about possible contamination of the engine
oil if your rings are weak or you have a leaking injector. I know from
experience that Lacquer thinner (yes I know it's not Acetone) will swell
all types of seals and dry them out really bad.
