Impreza_WRX_STi Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Instead of using Heet i'm sure there is a cheaper way or even better way of removing water from gas. I know the main ingredient is Isopropyl Alcohol. I don't know if you can buy IPA off the shelf tho Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I was under the impression that HEET was pretty cheap. Like $1.99 a bottle. You shouldn't need more than a couple bottles. I guess if you wanted to get complicated, you could put a fuel/water separator off of a diesel car/truck on there. Big capacity fuel filters with that setup.

Hardhat Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Regular Rubbing Alcohol has 70% isopropyl in it-just run your tank low on fuel and add. Good luck, been using it for yrs. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99obw Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 the other 30% is water, which sort of defeats the purpose. The isopropyl dry gas is cheap, I use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 If you look you can usually get 90%(IIRC) Isoprpyl on the shelf of the drugstore. But I think some denatured alchol (mostly ethanol with methanol added to poison you on purpose if you try to drink it) from the paint depertment would work and be a little cheaper than dry gas from the carparts place.

howards11 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Forget the idea of denatured alcohol. It's a LOT more expensive than Heet. Check out the paint department at Home Depot or Lowes. ~Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
