- This is my second attempt at finding the answer to my question. I didn't
- get any replies to my first post. Surely SOMEONE out there must remember
- which chemical it is that is sometimes used in gas line driers and is
- harmful to rubber? My original post follows; I think that the two chemicals
- in question may be methanol and isopropanol, but even if they are, I don't
- know which is the bad one.

- Thanks for any replies; here's the original posting:

- Hi,
- I remember reading (several months back) in this newsgroup that
- certain types of gas line driers could be harmful to the fuel system
- because they contain some chemical that attacks rubber. It was also
- mentioned that other products that use some other chemical are safe.
- I was hoping that someone could remind me what the two chemicals in question
- are.
-
- Also, on a separate note - can water in the gas cause pinging? (No, my car
- isn't pinging but...) I noticed that one of the brands of "dry gas" I looked
- at claimed to stop pinging...
