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.

Common antifreeze contains the chemical that makes antifreeze work which is Ethylene Glycol (ethane-1,2-diol)that has a freezing point of below 12.9 degrees Centigrade when added to water, it lowers the freezing point of water dramatically it is currently made by the hydration of ethylene oxide in industries other chemicals are mainly water chemicals and maybe even some dyes.
