Around here, pure ethanol is sold in most stores. The call it “gas line anti-freeze”.

Ethanol up to 5% can have a lot of benefits as an anti-icing agent, octane booster and oxygenator. Ethanol is a wonderful fuel additive but a lousy fuel.

Read the label more closely; the red bottle is propanol, the yllow bottle is methanol - both can absorb an additional 10-20% water depending on the raw product’s being previously exposed to the air.
