The maker of HEET claims that methanol is more effective at collecting water than ethanol and can reduce the incidence of ice particles. High pressure fuel systems in current use use smaller passages through regulators and injectors and are more sensitive to particulate contamination, so that two fuel line filters (along with mesh screens at the tank pump) are now standard fittings. HEET claims to provide solvents which reduce system fouling.
