I don't know if your old enough to remember when they introduced Gas-O-haul. A mix of, I think 5% alcohol with the gasoline. It really messed up all the carburetors that ran it. The fuel pumps and the rubber fuel lines. This stuff may do nothing to the seals and all the rest of the components of the fuel system, I have no Idea, But to say even a small amount "is not going to harm anything." is just not good advise to give people.
Dude, are you just making up opinions without actually doing any research???? It has all been tested and proven to cause zero problems when used in the appropriate dosages. And how in the hell can you compare styrofoam to anything in an engine???? I'll put it to you this way, nitro-methane, in a 30% methanol mix will not melt a dixie cup, but gasoline will.

AT LEAST USE GOOGLEBEFORE YOU MAKE INCORRECT ASSERTIONS ON A SUBJEST OF WHICH YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!!

I'm puting it in my tank tomorrow, the worst it will do is NOT give me 50mpg, I have no fear of damage. You probably have more than 2oz of WATER per 10 gallons you get at a gas station anyway, and water is very bad for an engine, but even small doses won't hurt anything. I've run r/c car 33% nitromethane mix and water through my intake to clean my engine and the motor didn't even stumble like it would with seafoam, yet it ran phenomenonally better afterwards.

or this, which is using dry ice to get dents out.

Has anyone tried any of these and are they safe?

Would dry ice damage paint?

Would that stuff damage the engine?
Nice finds, I have a dent on my door and it's driving me crazy!! Guess I'll give it a try, where can I find dry ice at any way?

meijer carries dry ice. also i'm real skeptical on the acetone thing. if it worked so well without any adverse conditions we'd all be using it dont ya think. remember, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is

from what ive read even pure stuff at best swells the rubber seals a tad but if you submerse them in even double the recommended amount percentage wise your suposed to use, at best a barely noticeable swelling was observed. from what ive read plenty of people have done this. It seems like the actual mpg gain is probably more like 20% though. I suppose if it does work the reason why everyone isn't using it is simply because it doesnt work well enough to really be worth messing with everytime you fill up so why bother at all. thats my thought anyway
