Seems like HEET has methyl alcohol as the main ingredient.  Probably better stay away from this, since methanol is so toxic.  (It did help my 1973 Plymouth Fury III make it through some Missouri winters though) 73, Mark N5KAE   ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Wade To: drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 4:38 PM Subject: [drakelist] R-4B bandswitch lubrication When I lived in the Midwest, there was a product "HEET" that would remove moisture from gas tanks of automobiles.  I don't know if there are other additives in it that would be harmful but it might remove moisture from the bandswitch wafers.  I have not tried it but maybe someone could explain why it might or might not work.  Just a thought.   Bob Wade - W6RTW
