improves the fuel's ability to vaporize completely by reducing

Acetone dissolves neoprene.  What are your fuel lines made of?  If you
have fuel injectors then they'll likely get plugged quickly as will your
fuel filter.

Yes, acetone burns hot.  You may burn valves and plugs too depending on
the ratios used.

Berryman's B-12 Chemtool contains acetone. I've used it as a gas additive for years with no ill effects.
