Fuel Injector Question
Is there any risk of damage over the longer term when running leaded gas through fuel injectors?
Reason why I am asking is that my brother is looking at bumping up the compression ratio in his ALMS engines and running leaded 112+ octane, where as these engines are normally running unleaded. Please let me know what you guys think.

Re: Fuel Injector Question
I know lead kills 02 sensors but I don't know about the injectors

Re: Fuel Injector Question
I don't believe it hurts the injectors but I know it will kill the o2.

Re: Fuel Injector Question
good point, the systems that these cars run do have O2's.
Forgot all about that, thanks guys!
