Title: Lead fuel replacement
Post by: Phantom on January 18, 2005, 09:57:06 AM
Now that they have stopped making lead replacemant fuel, what are you guys using in your FE/FC's now ? And what is the best fuel/additive to use?

same thing i have used on my other cars for over ten years without problems or additives,premium unleaded,never had valve problems yet,maybe its because they are steel heads not alloy ,told it was a scare tactic used by dealers when unleaded was a new thing,been told that its a real problem by a few but have yet to get my cars taken off road to fix valves so i just keep using premium.

This article was published in the January issue of the NSW Club magazine, Sideplate.  You may find it useful.  I'm happy to supply the original to other club magazine editors if any want to republish it.
