I was born in 81, and I barely remember seeing any mention of leaded fuel.
Last night I was looking at our new Sunoco pumps and they mention the 'up to 10% ethanol' may be a problem for mid 1980s and older vehicles. Why is that? What harm is the ethanol?
Also, when removing lead from our fuel supply, what exactly happened?
Did we just simply lose a performance enhancer?
--OR--
Did losing lead somehow cause harm, ie compatability with carbs, injectors, fuel lines, leaving deposits?
Basically, why can ethanol be bad for cars over 30 years old
And
Did saying bye-bye to leaded gasoline do any harm (or was it a win-win)?
