If you lost fuel pumps I wouldn't be surprised if it was the acetone. It is a very strong solvent. It's used to thin epoxy and it's the only solvent that does it except lacquer thinner. (lacquer thinner will destroy all your rubber in minutes.)

Acetone is a good solvent for most plastics and synthetic fibres including those used in Nalgene bottles made of polystyrene, polycarbonate and some types of polypropylene.[3]. It is ideal for thinning fiberglass resin, cleaning fiberglass tools and dissolving two-part epoxies and superglue before hardening. It is used as a volatile component of some paints and varnishes. As a heavy-duty degreaser, it is useful in the preparation of metal prior to painting; it also thins polyester resins, vinyl and adhesives.

Better hope there is nothing soluble in your fuel system if you use it.
If you are now running 10% ethanol you can increase your mileage again by advancing your timing. Start with a few degrees at at time until you get knocking under load, then back off a couple of degrees.
