I'm not one to do things on a complete whim, i did a load of research on the subject after the first time of carb icing, 4 winters ago.
You can buy a Silkolene fuel additive which is about £15 for 1 litre these days, and they suggest putting a few capfuls in, but it simply didn't do the job.
The worst thing about buying Isopropyl Alcohol is that it's £10.80 for 5 litres, but £8.50 for delivery, but i don't know anywhere you can buy in that amount over the counter?
As i said earlier, alcohol binds with water, and it then burns as fuel, so i'm not sure about your moisture trap, 'cos it will actually get rid of water from your tank? :rolleyes
You put in 1% per full tank, so in my case 200ml per 20 litre tank.

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
