Beware! There are many kinds of "alcohols". The one mentioned as gasline
anti-freeze was methyl. If you use isopropyl aka rubbing alcohol you
will be in for a nasty surprise with clogged parts! However, I remember
in the movie "Pink Submarine" (with Kelsey Grammar as Cpt.) during an
emergency the chief engineer poured some fine whisky (ethyl) into the
diesel to thin it out some. Did anyone mention gasahol?
