The alcohol idea never crossed my mind as far as dissenting a tank is
concerned. However I think I can comment here safely that either type
of alcohol should be equally as effective. The alcohol will evaporate fairly
fast and not leave any residue. I used to use it to regularly to dry film
after development and residue would have made the negatives useless.
If you can let it stand for few hours it would also help the evaporation
process assuring it is all gone. But do it in a well ventilated area.
