I can relate a short story about an A I had back in the 1960's. A friend who was a master welder during WW2. etc. brazed a fitting on the '30 gas tank firewall while in the car. We drained the fuel, flushed and filled with water , and he went at it while I was standing around the building corner! Afterwards, the tank was drained and filled with a quart or 2 of 90% alcohol. The A ran very well just long enough to clear the carb., etc.
