I've always wondered about this myself, what would happen if you used leaded petrol a few times then reverted back to unleaded?

^^^^ agreeed and even if you did find it your car will run like a sluggish piece of sh*t

if it's LEADED, it hasn't been sold for like 10 yrs, and if it's Lead replacement (i think they called it super?) it still hasn't been sold for a good 4 or 5 yrs. now taking in consideration that fuel goes off after 6mths with preservatives... stale fuel = anywhere from runnign sluggish to flushing/replacing your whole fuel system.

do the math, if you dont know long that fuel has been there, i would personally mix it with foam and take a match to it instead... somewhere far far away from anything that you dont want blown up/burnt. would be much more fun... and probably safer ;)
