Cars built before 1990 are designed to run on leaded petrol when this was still available at the pumps. If using unleaded petrol in places where leaded petrol is designed to be, you may notice pinking or issues with ignition timing. You may also see accelerated valve seat wear if they’re cut directly into a cast iron cylinder head.To combat this, we supply a range of lead replacement fuel additives, from Valve master to Tetra boost depending on your variables.
