I use gasohol in my car. Is it necessary to use gasoline additive, to keep the gas from freezing?
Gasohol as well as gasoline don't freeze. They CAN however(because of the nature of these two substances) become saturated with water from condensation. Depending on where you live and what the weather is like year round, an additive such as Iso-Heet, which prevents and helps eliminate water collection in the aforementioned substances, will work wonders. Just use one bottle of the stuff per full tank and voila! Problem solved. If you can't find Iso-Heet where you live, a trip to the drug store(chemists shop depending on where you live) and a request for a bottle of 95-100% Isopropal alcohol will also work as well. However, since you use gasohol already, you really don't have much to worry about in the gas tank, just the fuel injection or carburetor gaskets and seals. Gasohol can eat those like a shark eats fish!
I have the same problem in our home with the well water. I just replace the copper as it happens.in the longest runs possible. Plastic pipe yuck
gasohal won't freeze :) nothing to worry about unless the temperature gets more than 30 below
gasohol has a percentage of alcohol in it , that is what we add to gasoline to prevent the moisture absorbed by normal gasoline from freezing , so yours already has the additive in it . ps. do not use gasohol in 2 stroke motors ( chainsaws,snowmobiles ) it is very dry and will destroy the engine
You may have disagreeable minerals in your water that causes a reaction to the copper pipe. Instead of treating your water , replace the faulty copper with PEX piping . It is very easy for a DIY to use.
