[AJD] Lead Additive

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

I've commented on this often. When I was running my fully "built" Ford 429 Super 
CobraJet years ago, the no-lead fuel debate was raging full blown. I heard both sides 
of no-lead in gas engines and finally decided it wasn't an immediate problem. To be 
safe, I would add a bottle of lead additive as well as octane boost about every third 
tank in the Torino Cobra. Since it was a 429 and I was young the 3rd tank came around 
pretty darn often! Never had a single problem. Never did in my 429 Mustang either.
At our dealership, we have never found a single problem in any tractor, farm or lawn 
& garden, resulting from no-lead fuel. In fact, we have more problems with today's 
fuel and it's additives as it tends to eat or soften fuel lines, especially in weed 
eaters.
Just my input
