ok so the fingernail polish made the injector seal swell up to about 2 times the size it was to start with...
but i looked at the ingredients in the nail polish remover i used...and it was non-acetone...
so idk ....would it be worse with acetone?

Well I'm going to the store right now to get some 100% pure acetone. I'm almost on empty so it's perfect for me.

It causes the metal to shrink and expand when you change the temp drastically. it actually works best if you heat up the offending area with a blow dryer on high heat for a minute. then immediately place the dry ice around the area, and then onto the dent itself.

Ok, if the dry ice can't touch the paint how do you cover it? In the video it looks like he's just pressing dry ice against the paint.

Idid the same thing yesterday haha. I went to Sally Beauty Supply store and bought a 16oz bottle of pure acetone.

Ok sothis wasmy procedure and my results so far:

I was just about on empty so I went to the gas station and pumped $15 bucks of gas at 2.90/gal // drove to my grandma's house about 1 mile away and let my car sit idle for about 2 1/2 hours. When I turned it on it was making a weird noise (like water drops falling in a tin bucket 1 by 1 and would increase in frequencyas throttle increased) I figured I had put too much acetone for only $15 of gas so I drove to the gas station and pumped $5 more. When I turned my car back on it started up like it normally would.

I noticed where my gas needle was before pumping the extra $5 so that i would know how much mileage it would give me, with just $5 (@ 3.00/gal = 1.66 gal) So I drove to my gf house and back and now this morning to work and the needle is finally where it was before pumping the $5. My trip meter reads 48 miles LOL - So far it's been 28 miles per gallon! (@ 48/1.66)
