- HEAT, in the yellow bottle contains methyl alcohol and the red bottle contains isopropyl alcohol.

- GASOHOL, typically contains 10% ethanol, (E-10). As water is added to the blended fuel, phase separation will begin at approximately 0.5% water by volume, at 70 degrees F. Therefore, assuming the blended fuel (E-10) is free of all water, one could add: 128 oz/gal x 0.005 water = 0.64 oz water/gallon of fuel. 0.64 oz is approximately 4 teaspoons of water. As additional volumes of water is added, phase separation, a mixture of water and ethanol will occur. Initially the mixture may combust in the engine however, as the water concentration increases combustion can not be assured.

Note, the ability of E-10 to hold water decreases at lower temperatures. For example, the water tolerance at 0 degrees F is approximately 0.3% by volume. This means if one would add water when the fuel is at 70 F, phase separation could occur (without the addition of water) as the fuel temperature is decreased.
