You snipped the lead-in to David Williams' post.  Let me quote it:


to the gas in our cars. It prevents ice from forming in the fuel system, which
can cause the car to stall.  The antifreeze is mainly methanol. <<

Taken in context, it is clear that "The antifreeze" is "gas line
antifreeze".  Here on planet Earth, I'm not aware of using Ethylene
Glycol or Propylene Glycol as a gas line antifreeze.  However,
products such as HEET:

contain methanol, as this MSDS shows it to be 99% METHANOL
