YK,
I have been using System G on my Fiero's from quite long time.I usually take a bottle with me when I go on rides as you dont know the quality of fuel out there. I have never faced any problems of any types.It really keeps the Carb clean & the carb service interval is pushed further.

Use it bro,nothing is gonna happen.

System G or D are OK and approved.
Acetone - most definitely not!

What about pouring some Boric Acid into the sump??

LOL, there are quite a few devout fans of mixing boric powder with oil and pouring that into the sump! Tough to dissolve boric powder into oil!!!
Claim is that it provides extraordinarily low coefficients of friction!
