Is it ok to add alcohol to air tanks on a demandated unit?

To keep the tanks and airlines from freezing? If so, yes, I use STP gas treatment, the red bottle, that small bottle opening makes it easier to pour the liquid in the airlines.

$1.50 a bottle, and a bottle normally lasts all winter.

Being stp gas treatment, is made with jet fuel. I'm thinking, it wouldn't be a good idea to have this product in the air system whereas the air pressure is as high as 120 lb. I know from prior experience pulling tankers hauling flammable or combustible product, you never unload utilizing pressurized air, since pressure creates heat.
