Isopropyl Alcohol is a colorless, flammable chemical compound (chemical formula CH3CHOHCH3) with a strong odor.Isopropyl alcohol dissolves a large range of non polar compounds. It also evaporates easily leaving zero oil traces thus suitable for dissolving oils. Isopropyl alcohol's melting point is -127 F(-89.5'C) and boiling point is 180 F(82.3'C)
Isopropyl alcohol is mixed with water for use as a rubbing-alcohol antiseptic. It is also used in aftershave lotions, hand lotions, and other cosmetics. In industry it is used as an inexpensive solvent for cosmetics, drugs, shellacs, and gums, as well as for denaturing ethanol (ethyl alcohol).

Alcohol does not remove water from gasoline, but the alcohol solubilizes water in gasoline. Once soluble, water does not pose the same risk as insoluble water.
