Will rust form on steel exposed to isopropyl alcohol?

Sort of. First off rubbing alcohol doesn't have to be all alcohol, it can be some water in it too, and water can promote rust. Next thing rubbing alcohol can remove a possibly protective layer of grease, which can make metal rust faster.


Can isopropyl alcohol be used in gas tanks?

I wouldn't recommend it. I have however heard of people using alcohol to help clear up bad gasoline. If you get gas from a sleezy gas station and they are mixing a little water with their gas, or you somehow get water in your gas tank from condensation, or a dirty trick, you can mix a small amount with a full tank to burn the water out. Gas and water don't mix. However, alcohol and water mix (isopropyl alcohol is just pure alcohol mixed with water), and alcohol and gas mix. It works like a buffer. Too much alcohol can burn valves, and set off your O2 sensor. If you have something in the tank that shouldn't be there, the best thing to do is remove the tank, have it cleaned and flush the fuel lines going to the engine. Isopropyl alcohol by itself would seriously mess up the internals of an engine. To sum things up, i wouldn't do it to a car i liked.

Where to buy ingredients for hand sanitizer?

To make hand sanitizer yourself, you only need two basic ingredients; isopropyl alcohol and a thickener. The best thickener would be an alcohol based hair gel, because it will not curdle and will mix consistently. Mix the alcohol and hair gel together and try to get an alcohol content of about 60%, and you'll have hand sanitizer. So you can get the ingredients from any store that sells isopropyl alcohol and hair gel.
