Hubly disagree. Malmi, jan and feb: The FBO was adding antifreeze to the  
100LL, "compound".
Same stuff was added to the club planes here in Lapland at the April  
skiplane camp. Fuel tank samples are not taken below zero, because if  
there would be water it would be frozen on/in the drains. Good chance they  
would not close at all afterwards.
In Lapland we add petrol and diesel antifreeze (some kind of alcohol?) at  
the start of the freezing temperatures once and every time the cars are  
returning from the South, having been in + degrees. And yes, we have seen  
frozen filters and fuel lines many times. But then you are living way  
South eh?

Absolutely not, and i really enjoyed it. Would have taken another litre,  
if i would not be in such a hurry to see your project :-)
