Costco is the best price, you can also go to HealthCare Solutions and get a Gallon of it. You want 99% Isopropyl. Most drug stores have the good stuff, behind the counter.

It seems that a guy should just get a good bottle of 90 proof vodka.
Pour some in the tank and save the rest for yourself.

Easy to obtain anywhere.

Cover 2 bases at once.
Only have to carry one bottle.
WIN WIN.....lol.

Ethanol is what attracts the water into your fuel, it’s holds the water and that’s what freezes.

Run premium fuel with no ethanol, then you won’t have to add anything.

Isopropyl and ethanol react the exact same way with water. And if youre gas is freezing its way too cold to sled. Prolly around the -75C to -200C range lol

Gas lines freeze due to phase separation. Phase separation happens roughly 26X faster in the gasoline with no Ethanol, then with a 10% Ethanol blend.

Gasoline absorbs almost no water, so any condensation just settles to the bottom of your gas tank. But with ethanol blends it dissolves into the gas, and you just just burn it off. (Up to a certain threshold, you cant go dump a gallon of water in your gas tank, it will separate)


Ethanol for the win....
