That's a good thing to do from time to time. I also use methylated spirits when cleaning out my air guns (for painting). The alcohol separates the hydrogen & oxygen and the water evaporates ~ stops parts from rusting. I don't think I would care to do it as often as once a month ~ more like once in a while ~ prolonged contact with rubber can crack seals, hoses, &c.. Alcohol dehydrates. you've seen what it can do to you... think what it can do to rubber.madmazda wrote:I just pour methyl alcohol periodoically into my tank... about a cup or so per month I was told that this kind of alcohol binds to the water and then can be burnt with the fuel.... is this somewhat correct ??
