Also thinking of using a alcohol mix in the tank. It should evaporate faster and pull heat faster. Not sure about the fire hazard though....
The ice won't survive in the tank log enough to make a meaningful difference. It's too hot. Alcohol will work, but go 60/40 water to alcohol so it won't ignite.

Yes, I was going to mix it. Shouldn't be a fire problem then. I'm pretty sure that normal windshield wiper fluid already has a pretty good alcohol mix.
