Here's a picture of a sticker from the mid to late 80's saying to use leaded only.
Like has already been said, running unleaded is just fine in spite of that sticker. You might say they got smarter/got more experience and changed their recommendations as time went on and lead started disappearing No engine issues due to unleaded and at least Pete will agree with me that 10% ethanol will present no issues either. Well maybe one issue..............you won't spend as much on replacing spark plugs since they last a lot longer without being crapped up with lead deposits |

Matt,
If you want to fatten the coffers of the "lead additive" manufacturer, then go ahead and use the snake oil. If not, then take Tom's advice above. EDIT: Matt, now I'm confused.
What type of fuel are you concerned with? Your post states unleaded twice. |

How concerned should I be about running unleaded in my boat when the engine tag says to use unleaded only? It's an 1988 2001.
