thanks man.

i just realised (from one of the old zth posts) that malaysia has stopped leaded fuel since 1999.

leaded fuel is still available cos older car need lead to run well.

just make sure your car has no catalytic converter. lead will damage the cat almost instantly.

older cars need leaded fuel in order to protect the valve seat, newer car engines are designed to cope well with unleaded fuel.
