In my first life, I was a chemist for Kodak - a QC chemist to be precise.
I used quite a bit of acetone on a daily basis, both for anyalses & cleaning. This was 1970. Used it for drying wet glass testing equipment. Then, the EPA & OSHA came along, and further educated us about things like acetone, benzene & formalehydes. All of a sudden, these things were HAZARDOUS, and carcinogenic. Hmm, I had to work with these avery day - all day. Decided that there was a better place for me in life - bean counter! Re-educated right now. Good decision! No- zero amount of acetone is good for you, or your 914. Think about it - what is the active ingredient in lots of nail polish removers? Acetone! Do you want that to touch ANY part of your 914 injection system? No, you don't. There are way too many parts in the injection system that are plastic (like injector tits) and (thru the body plastic lines). Even a 1 percent acetone mix would be destructive! Run, don't just walk away, from these!!!!!!! May work for more contemporary cars, but not a 914. Pat |
