CD2 Lead substitute?

[George Miller]

Well maybe I don't need to bother with it then. I was just going off what my Auto shop teacher in Vo Tech school told us. He said the older cars needed the lead to keep the valves cool because of what they were made of. Modern car valves had better metal that didn't need the lead.

Well since they didn't have lead back then I guess we don't need to be adding it in. Oh well he must have been wrong.

What he should have said, was trucks and tractors that pull hard and get the seats and valves real hot, could benefit from a lead substitute. Model A's do not need it.

In the mid-late 60's I was driving a Korean War 3/4 Ton Army truck. I was in charge of patrolling the Urban area of a fairly large city with a squad of uniformed Soldiers.
This was with the Army National Guard and I needed to gas up at the Motor Pool. The Soldier who gassed up the truck dumped 5 gallons as I recall which turned out to be Kerosene. The truck started a ran fine for a bit, then started smoking up the Inner City and it ran terrible. When I finally figured out what it was I crippled it back to the Armory and had it filled with gasolene. (didn't even siphon the Kerosene out)

Just my experience with the MIX.

Got rid of the Skeeters.
