Rotary engines and acetone?
Heard mixed results. One one side it will really eat the carbon.. Other side.. Your coolant and oil seals might not like it.
If your looking to clean out the carbon, you may want to try the water injection method on rotaryresurrection.com. People seem to have alot of luck with that.

pretty much summs it up.
its even not really recommended that you leave ATF or seafoam in for extended periods of time as its corrosive and causes rubber to swell. swelling rubber may sound good at the moment cuz it will cause a better seal, but then it instantly wears, then shrinks back, and youre left with even LESS seal than before hand. Acetone can only be worse then the above two. if anything, run some seafom through it in normal procedure or do the water treatment.
why do you want to anyways? cleaning high mileage rotaries is proven to be a bad idea. i wouldnt do it unless your engine is already healthy and you are doing this as part of regular maintenance.

Gasoline contains acetone. I wouldn't see a harm in putting a little bit in for one tank full, but I wouldn't recommend doing it. I'd rather put a bottle of Seafoam in my gas.
