[QUOTE="WR 250, post: 167549, member: 17697"] I don't agree with the previous statement but let be clarify where I am arguing from. I primarly use isopropal alcohol in my snowmachines since they are more susceptable to getting water in the gas than my summer machines. I believe this is due to the temperture swings we get during the winter where is goes a few degrees above and below freezing fairly often in South Central Alaska along the coast. I have seen many snowmachines burn holes in the pistons because of water in the gas. Now I have wondered for many years whether this was the cause for engine damage or a wives tale. I have also had dealerships tell me this is the reason why three of my family's machines have burned down. Because of what I read water in the gas effecting the Iron Dog racers I assumed it was true. Also I have not had any problems with burn downs when running Isoheet. This leads me to believe that alcohol does not harm the engines. One of the big differences between dirt bikes and sleds is that most snowmachines are oil injected. However, I have run Isoheet in older pre mix machines as well as my pre mix Ski-Doo 440 with no ill effects. Oil injection or not does not seem to play a part. So based on my experiences I don't see how isopropal alcohol can damage you engine. But, it seems that water in your gas is very detrimental to your engine. [/QUOTE]
