En los países expuestos a heladas invernales se agregan anticongelantes al agua del radiador para evitar que se hiele su contenido y estallen sus células. El alcohol puede utilizarse con dicho fin, pero tiene el inconveniente de evaporarse al subir la temperatura del agua. Por eso se usan preferentemente glicoles que, además de ser mucho menos evaporables, no son inflamables ni corrosivos. 3, record 1, Spanish, - anticongelante

Methanol alcohol is used as a winter treatment for automobile gasoline - so called "fuel line antifreeze". Actually, it's not an antifreeze at all in the sense that it doesn't prevent the water in your gas tank from freezing. Since water won't mix with gasoline and rolls around on the bottom of your tank it freezes in winter. If it gets in your fuel line it will cause fuel line freeze-ups. Water dissolves in alcohol, and alcohol dissolves in gasoline and it is in this way that your tank is purged of water. 5, record 7, English, - fuel%20line%20antifreeze
