Default Modifing my Gas to Pass...

I failed emissions the other day with Really Hi CO and a little over on HC. I fixed my TPS and idle which were way off and the car leaned out alot but before my Re-Test Id like to add a little something something to the gas to gaurantee I pass. So...
My Options:

I have 2 bottles of Berryman B-12 Chemtool (Toluene,Methanol,Acetone,Mixed Xylenes,Etc) Directions one bottle to 16-20 gallons

32oz 91% Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing Alcohol & 9% water)

Which should I use and in what proportion? I know alot of people have used to Isopropyl and I got the highest alcohol % I could find... They didnt have any of the "Emissions in a can" type stuff.

Thanks!
Zack

Predator & Scott thanks so much for your help...
Anyway I put in 1 1/2 bottles of dry gas that I think is 100% Isopropyl alcohol and have an appointment this afternoon we'll see if it passes

use the alcohol, but make sure you fill the tank up, add the alcohol, and run a lot (1/2 - 3/4 tank) of it through the engine before you test
