No... and no.
"Gas line anti freeze" (commonly called HEET) is methanol, not ethanol.
Although they are both an alcohol, they are two very different things.
Methanol (sort'a) "absorbs"
liquid moisture, keeping it in suspension with the gasoline so it doesn't freeze into a solid mass and can be pulled through the fuel system.
Ethanol (sort'a) "absorbs" moisture
vapor from the air, it
will not absorb
liquid moisture... the warmer it is the more moisture it can hold in suspension. But when it cools the excess moisture separates out as a liquid (called phase separation). The truth is, ethanol is more likely to cause "gas line freeze up" because it literally "pulls" moisture into the fuel from the air and allows it to separate and condense as the fuel gets colder.
There's several reasons why "gas line freeze up" is less common today than it was a couple decades back.
fordf150 touched on one reason... but he's wrong that, "
ethanol has only been around for 5-10 years." We had "gasohol" here in Iowa over 30 years ago... during the '80's it was notorious for fuel system freeze-ups in winter and vapor locks in summer. You see fewer "freeze ups" now because we have improved blending, storage and transportation... improved fuel additive packages... improved, non-vented, high pressure vehicle fuel systems... carburetors and mechanical fuel pumps are ancient history... etc... etc... etc... the list of reasons goes on and on and on... but ethanol ain't one of them.
