If you don't use lead substitute, it might be a good idea to run a tank full of leaded fuel every so often. That's what older European cars had to do when unleaded was phased out.
Thanks John. Keep in mind that 91 octane is the highest that is readily available in Colorado, US.

Yeah I might just run the lead substitute to add the layer of protection. It's not all that expensive, just very polluting.
