says... I don't have the numbers handy for diesels, but I'm reasonably confidant that the percentage isn't a lot different even if the sources are different (over rich areas in the fuel spray generate soot due to inadequate air and some of the mixture around the fringe of the spray is too lean to burn). The fact of the matter is that the moon landings are fake, the alien autopsies are real, and the thousands of engineers that work for all the auto companies all around the world (that look at fuel sprays and combustions with lasers, high speed cameras, optically transparent engines of all types, computer modeling, etc.) are completely unaware of potential fuel consumption improvements like this one. That's right! ;-) And advanced concepts like vapor pressure (volatility) are just way out of their league! Of course, the vapor pressure of the fuel varies considerably with ambient temperature, and the designers must optimize all of the fuel delivery and mixing parameters for an average. Then the fuel product delivered is varied throughout the year in places where wide seasonal variations could otherwise make conditions far from the design datum. Perhaps it could happen that someone in one such place has been able to achieve a slight improvement with a home brew additive - he'll have to weigh the savings against the increased maintenance costs in early replacement of all polymerized parts of his fuel delivery system.
