Dry gas -- isopropyl or methanol?

Posted by Dave D on February 09, 2005 at 06:39:46 from (66.155.201.82):

A week or so ago some of you knowledgable guys were explaining the merits of using an isopropyl-based dry gas vs. a methanol-based version. Ran to the garage and checked, and naturally the HEET I had poured into the 240 tank a couple months ago said methane or methanol on the bottle. What is the risk to my rig here? Am I destroying fuel hoses? At least so far it has been starting with ether and running this winter. Where do you find the isopropyl dry gas?

Thanks. Dave D in NH
