I was given a few bottles. Some the ISO red bottle, and some the yellow bottle. At what temperature do these become useful; if they ever become useful? Also, how do the chemicals work for the water removing part. And do they actually work?

If you happen to run in real cold weather and your windshield washer fluid freezes on use, I been told to dump Heet into the washer tank.... so I been told.
I would not use it in gas tank. You have enough alcohol in the gas already.
Unless you are lucky enough to have E0 fuel.
We have E0 racing fuel available, but I think its leaded.

Good to know, I was buying them 'cause I wasn't sure, but now I'll save my money.

Products like Heet are primarily Methanol. You pay $1.50 for Heet which is pure methanol that costs likely less than 25 cents bought in bulk. Think Heet is 99% methanol. Methanol has a unique molecular/chemical structure that easily absorbs water which stops the water from freezing in gas tank and gas lines.

The red bottle is Iso-HEET, which uses isopropanol instead of methanol. It's supposed to be superior. I frankly wouldn't want to put methanol in my car. And frankly if you regularly use any fuel with ethanol in it, it's not going to do anything the alcohol already in the fuel is going to do.
I guess I'll save this stuff for nice blend with orange juice for breakfast. It seems like this stuff is better for consumption than it is for combustion.

I used it a few years ago when my van wouldn't start in 3 degree weather. Worked like a charm.
