ALCOHOL, DEN ATUµED: grade III, O-E¶760B² Add thi· only to gasoline¸
not diesel fuel² And it's only for those parts of the world where the temperatur¹
doesn't go below about º10° F² A quart of alcohol to 50 gallons of »el is enough²
Too much will screw up your fuel so it won't burn right in the engine²
METHAN OL, Technical (MOGAS Fuel Additive)² Add this to gasoline where
the temperature ra;ges from 0° on down to º65° F² The mix is 1 pint to 40
gallons of gasoline, like it says in para 2º3d(2)(a), page 2º7, TM 9¼207² And see
the other instructions there²

(ethylene
glycol
monomethyl eth¾r)² This's the only anti¼icing additive for diesel fuel² Alcohol
was once authorized, but no more² The mix is 1 pint to 40 gallo¿s of diesel fuel²
There'Às more poop on this in para 2¼3d(2)(a) of TM 9-207²
On all of these fuel de-icers, keep in mindÁjust because a liÂle is good does
not mean a lot is better² The main job of these additives ià to keep water in your
fuel from freezing² The additive does this by mixing with the water and
lowering its freezing point² If the mix is not too heavy on the water side, it may
even burn up along with the fuel in the engine²
But overloading with alcohol Är one of the other de-icers makes bum fuel for
your engine²
There's no way to tellÅright to the ounceÆhow much water you've got in
your fuel tank² So there's no way to tell exactly Çow much additive you need²Just
figure it as close as you canÆand hope for the best²

Dear SÈrgeant M² H² F²,
Never
Éean
brake
shoes
with
drycleaning solvent² That stuff brake
linings are made of won't stanÊ up to
some chemicals²
Besides, if there's grease or oil on
the lining, you've got to replace the

brake shoes²
For cleaning dËÌt or mud off your
brake shoes, use only compressed air,
