Trivia of the day
 
If you live in a part of the world that has mandatory gasohol "contains up
to 10% ethanol". You need never buy drygas ever again. Cause the gasoline is
already loaded with alcohol.

From Wiki:

Dry gas is an alcohol-based additive used in automobiles to prevent any
water in the fuel from freezing, or to restore combustive power to
gasoline spoiled by water. The name Drygas is actually a brand name,
owned by Cristy. It is a liquid that is added in to the fuel tank, that
absorbs the water and keeps it in solution.[citation needed] Some brands
contain methanol and some contain isopropyl alcohol.[1]

Some states require a 10-15% ethanol solution be sold at refueling
stations.[citation needed] Most current gasoline-powered automobiles can
safely run up to a 15% ethanol solution without any modification.
However, at 20% or above older vehicles may require replacing the fuel
lines to prevent degradation and rupture, and the electric fuel pump may
need modification to prevent ethanol "dry rot". There is no point in
adding dry gas to fuel that already contains a significant percentage of
ethanol, since ethanol is an alcohol.

You can buy a filter that has a water adsorber if it's an issue.
