My brain's not functioning really well right now, so I cannot come up with many suggestions for you. However, there will be no real benefit from adding rubbing alcohol to the fuel. Isopropyl alcohol is what you want to use. Rubbing alcohol is Isopropyl that has already been diluted with water, it will no longer continue to absorb additional water. If you read the label on rubbing alcohol it will say something to the effect of "70% isopropyl." The remaining 30% is water. Maybe I have those percentages backward.
