Can I assume the ethanol free is also free of lead? Looks like some of the racing fuels are containing lead.Yikes!
Here goes another debatable subject.
Tetraethyl lead is actually an upper cylinder/valve lubricant, and was once considered beneficial to engines, (probably still is) The reason lead was removed from automotive fuel is because it was shown to damage or clog catalytic converters. Remember Standard/Amoco's "lead free Fresh as a daisy" advertisments from the early eighties? HaHa.
Anyway, i would think as long as your engine does not have a catalyst system, leaded fuel may be good for it.
Thats my take on it, if anyone has more info on it, please chime in!
