Gene,
I posted same question a while ago and got little responce. What I've been able
to
determine through other sources and conversations is that lead additives are
fine
as long as you run the car on a regular basis. If it sits around too much, the
additive can settle in the tank. Also, it is best to first mix the additive in
a
gallon container with gas and then put in tank. This helps to dilute (sp?)
additive
much better than if just pooring into tank.
