I have to run the higher octane premium unleaded and add some valve lubricant to the tank when filling, a bit of a pain in the ass but I don't drive it that often so no biggy.
What pisses me off though it that leaded fuel is not as bad as all the clapped out cars with under performing cat coverters pumping all the unleaded chemicals into the environment.
I think the word 'lead' frightens greenies maybe
Agree - and the shit they put in ULP to make it work is pretty out there!
Straight LPG is cool - but we used to run into flow problems with the lock-off valves, you couldn't get one big enough that was ADR approved. (this was 18 years ago!)
Mate used to do the proto's for gas research (his conversion business used to be the closest to GR) - he screwed a SBC stroker together. Twin gas research carbs, twin tanks, mixers - the works! short tunnel ram for the twin setup, solid cam, 13:1 compression - real top shelf everything... In a rodeo ute - babyshit brown, with standard rims and hubcaps... (He did custom paint later on) Classic - sideways in any gear...
I know he did a VL turbo with port injection 16 odd years ago? That technology is only really starting to take off recently AFAIK?
