In colder climates, where condensation can collect in a gas tank,
they sell "dry gas" (which I just learned is a brand name) that 
absorbs the water so it can passed through the combustion process.

"Some brands contain methanol and some contain isopropyl alcohol."

Since the south of France may not have it, they may be able to use
some methanol or isopropyl alcohol.  That is, unless someone pumped
water into the tank.

Good luck.
