Any body know if you can you use "Dry Gas" in 2 cycle engine fuel systems?

Hi Fred,

You can use an Isopropyl alcohol based dry gas like "Iso-Heet" in 2-cycle equipment but NOT a methanol based one like plain "Heet" (yellow bottle).

Read the label and make sure it's NOT Methanol based, you'll be OK.

If you keep your gas fresh, stabilize it and keep in tightly stored, you should have no problems and not need this product. Most quality fuels in winter also have a freeze preventative blended in.
