don't forget the 'various parts' aspect as cooter suggested- don't just chuck in o rings. get a bit of fuel hose as well. i think drew is driving something ancient so there probably arent any worries about plastic fuel tanks. is it fuel injected? maybe try and get an old injector from a mechanic, chuck that in too. then after a week see if it etches the plastic. does it have a plastic fuel filter? get a cheap one and chuck that in your jar too...
have fun!

1999 Truck. Fuel injection. The fuel filter is metal, unless I'm looking at the wrong part. I've replaced two before on other cars, and I think I'm looking at the right part. I'll let you know about the fuel tank tomorrow.

I don't think the acetone will harm the plastic parts.....
the acetone we use at our work space is stoed in refillable plastic dispensing bottles ....

You guys should read the other forums linked earlier in this thread. The "soak parts in acetone" test has already been covered there.
