Methanol is safer for the environment than gasoline, is an anti-freeze agent, prevents dirt and grime buildup within the engine, has a higher ignition temperature and can withstand compression equivalent to that of super high-octane gasoline. [1] It can readily be used in most modern engines. [2]
Dry gas is an alcohol-based additive gas used in automobiles to prevent water from freezing in water-contaminated fuels, thereby restoring the combustive power of gasoline spoiled by water. Dry gas is added to the fuel tank and binds to the water to burn it off, and typically contains either methanol or isopropyl alcohol .
The composition of a gasoline depends upon: the oil refinery that makes the gasoline, as not all refineries have the same set of processing units; the crude oil feed used by the refinery; the grade of gasoline sought (in particular, the octane rating). The various refinery streams blended to make gasoline have different characteristics.

In small two-stroke engines, the oil may be pre-mixed with the gasoline or fuel, often in a rich gasoline: oil ratio of 25:1, 40:1 or 50:1, and burned in use along with the gasoline. Larger two-stroke engines used in boats and motorcycles may have a more economical oil injection system rather than oil pre-mixed into the gasoline.
On the other hand, the gel point of crude oil is dependent upon the composition of the crude oil as some crude oils contain more or less components that dissolve the paraffins. In some cases the gel point of a crude oil may be correlated from the pour point. [1] [2] The gel points of some common petroleum products are as follows:
But when it comes to gasoline in your garage, an easy fix may be found in a simple bag of cat litter. According to Dr. Ian Smith, a gasoline spill on a disposable tarp can be absorbed using cat ...
Before putting your snowblower to bed for the season, either run the fuel tank dry or add fuel stabilizer, which keeps gasoline fresh for up 24 months, to the tank. If you use fuel stabilizer, run ...
