<VV> New problem-Rampside will not start after sitting overnite

[Dave & Carole Thomson]

It should be noted that Isopropyl has replaced good old methyl hydrate because of the new engine configurations.  BUT BEWARE!  It does not work well in your fondue burners (unlike the "old" gas line antifreeze!) that we sometimes fell back on when our fondue fuel ran low.

My brother in law tried this trick and unfortunately due to the major difference in heat content and especially vapour point, he ended up with a runaway fire.

Nuf said, we all learn don't we!

  Timothy,
      Excellent idea!  I use gasoline antifreeze  additive in all my cars 
  (Corvair included) especially in the cold weather.   The best is isopropanol 
  (isopropyl alcohol) sold under various names such as  "Iso-Dri"  If you can't find 
  that, then use a methanol (methyl alcohol)  type like "Dry Gas".

  Finally,  how about a fuel additive antifreeze? I suspect some H2O has found 
  its way  into my fuel tank and is the culprit in blocking flow. How about it,  
  group.
