"Water and alcohol forming icy particles? I wonder if he has ever heard of the winter gasoline additive called "HEET". It's alcohol, and meant to prevent any water in your gas tank from turning into an icing problem."

All the gas anti freeze products are mostly isopropyl alcohol. I use straight rubbing alcohol in the winter. About 1/2 of the small bottle prior to filling the tank. Been doing it for years without a problem.

Good point - I didn't read the whole thing - where was the water coming from? - is it a by product of evaporating acetone?

I've never had to worrying about gas in the winter here in FL - as teenagers if a thermostat went bad, we'd just run without for a while (wouldn't too that now - they're too cheap and the car constantly runs a little hotter than normal.)
