I wouldnot agreethat Alcohol is an effective patch lubricant. In fact just the opposite.

For cleaning: Were it me, I would spend a dollar or so on 99% Isopropyl Alcohol for cleaning and mix it 50% with Windex.

I would put the ISO-HEET in the gas tank. As I don't know what else might be in there along with the alcohol.
