Ummmm, sorry Greg, my old friend.  Isopropyl is an alcohol
in its own right - its just a longer chain alcohol than
ethanol or methanol.  Its often sold as "gas tank de-icer"
in the northern parts of the country.  I prefer it to
ethanol for this purpose and usually have a couple of
cans in the garage.  You do need to be careful not to use
too much, though.
