thanks for all the answers fella's, I think I will carry on running it without any additives to replace the lead but that is not my only concern with modern fuels !
I have been told that the ethanol will eat the rubber on the fuel pumps, I keep my eye on the engine oil to check for fuel and everything has been good so far but has anyone ever had a problem with the pump diaphragm giving up or melting due to ethanol ?
I promise this is my last fuel related question
cheers
