I recall that on a B55 Baron I flew had alcohol windshield
and props. If you just ran the props it was good for an
hour or two [3.0 gallons] but less than 1/2 an hour if you
ran the windshield and it was NOT a deicing fluid, it was to
be run as anti-ice and turn off before landing because you
could not see through it.
