Actually, Iso-Heet is isopropyl alcohol, not methanol. Isopropyl is less harmful than methanol in fuel systems.....

HEET
Q: How does HEET work?
A: HEET contains special additives and methanol. When HEET is added to the gas tank, it sinks to the bottom and mixes with any water. Since both HEET and water are heavier than gasoline, they go to the bottom of the gas tank. HEET absorbs water and keeps it from freezing, and blocking the flow of gasoline through the gas line and fuel pump. When the vehicle is started, the additives, methanol, water, and gasoline are consumed during combustion inside the engine.
Q: How does Iso-HEET work?
A: Iso-HEET contains isopropanol and special additives including Fuel Injector Cleaner.
It has Isopropanol in it. But it's major constituent is METHANOL.

No I'm sorry, it's methanol.

In any case, this isn't worth arguing about. I won't be adding anything further
