Dad, do not worry. We jump on each other all the time online. Just the name of the game in these communities.
I will say that Dan comes from 30+ years of working with gasoline/oil testing and knows more about what is in these compounds than 99.999% of all Americans.
If you have any follow up questions, please ask them since he can give you some very, voluminous, discussions on petrochemical mixtures.

In our area, we are not allowed to have even 1 ppm of MTBE, mostly due to the contamination of ground water than can occur. For awhile we were producing and even selling MTBE. That portion of our plant was shut down and dismantled when the studies of the harmful effects of MTBE came out.
I seem to have offended you and I am sorry if you feel offended. My purpose was to inform and possibly warn you and others about the components in gasoline that are dangerous.
The Acetone that you were adding and the Propane, Butanes and Pentanes in the gasoline are components that can flash at room temperatures and will float in the air, when given the chance.
