I ran me 90 TD on veg oil from tesco, it smelt like a chip pan but it did the trick!

How easy is acetone to get hold of, and would it work in 'newer' TD5 engines?

smo:
Its very easy to get hold of, but make sure its 100% pure otherwise it may cause problems (ie: dont use nailvarnish remover!)

I got mine from a GRP/boatbuilding supplier, it comes in tins from 250ml, right up to 25l drums and more!!

Yes it works in TD5's, i am trying to find the right mix for mine but have seen about 10% improvement in economy so far which whilst isnt massive is worthwhile. Its biggest advantage though is for emissions failing TDi's and the likes where you can slap a higher concentration in and itll clean the emissions right up due to its properties of improving the burn, and claning the soot from the engine at the same time :)
