The company that made Heet went belly up about 20 years ago. There have
been different formulations over the years and some are methanol and others
were ethanol or blends.
I also remember when the station in town had a drum of alcohol to put in
the radiator for the oldtimers who didn't believe in Prestone or Zerex
We had a neighbor who drive his Model T until he died.

The last two bottles of HEET I bought, the main ingredient was methanol.
I didn't put in my radiator, but I did put it in my windshield washer fluid
tank :)
