Gasline antifreeze is usually just isopropyl alcohol. Many drugstores sell 97-percent isopropanol, and if you put six ounces of it in a 20-gallon gas tank it will do the same thing as Heet (or whatever brand you like) for less money.

Antifreeze is typically made from a mixture of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, water, and corrosion inhibitors. These substances help regulate the freezing and boiling points of the liquid, protect against corrosion, and prevent overheating in a vehicle's engine.
