09/08/06 - Vietnam officially bans acetone as additive in gasoline
Vietnam authorities have officially banned the use of acetone as an
additive in gasoline, a Hanoi-based industry source said Friday. The
ban, which comes into immediate effect for all imported gasoline, also
covers blending of acetone gasoline.
"The government is very concerned about the consequences [of acetone in
gasoline]," the Petrolimex official said. "They [the government] still
don't know the full extent of damage to health," he said. The official
added that this was the first known case of acetone being added in
higher-than-accepted amounts to gasoline.
Acetone is a solvent that can be used as an additive for boosting octane
levels in gasoline. It is not typically specified in gasoline sales
contracts.
A high amount of acetone in gasoline, however, can affect the rubber
seals of vehicle engines. Ho Chi Minh City's Department of Science and
Technology concluded last week that acetone in some recent batches of
imported gasoline was behind the large-scale breakdown of motorcycles in
the city.
The conclusion followed tests conducted by the department on samples
taken from retail stations.

any problems with the seals. At 3oz. of acetone per gallon of gas, it
