Thanks for the link, Jesse,
It appears that rotary engines are not the only auto conversion
with problems with SAG from having lead foul the plugs.
Some white deposits may be seen on the plugs and in the exhaust pipe during
use, this is normal with TCP since the lead in the fuel is being converted to
non conductive lead phosphate. When no additive is used, lead oxide is
formed. It is lead oxide which causes plugs to misfire due to its partial
conductivity shorting out the plug. In addition, lead oxide tends to form
in large clumps or clinkers whereas the lead phosphate is a crumbly and if any
is left behind in the combustion chamber it deposits in even layers.

Without going into the reliability of those forming opinions from net
talk, like p. salanger and ilk, as regards mcdonald's coffee suit propaganda,
the synthetic and leaded fuel problems do seem to be real. <g> And, the
piston crowd also seem to be aware of it, with most going to mogas. (Can't be
killing more dinosaurs, I guess; or, maybe syn oil really is better.)
Decalin www.decalinchemicals.com seems to
be a rather positive attitude approach, if you want to go that way.

Ed, While I don't totally discount that there could be some (MINOR)
problems. I would remind you that McDonalds was sued by some idiot that
spilled hot coffee in their own lap! Just because it's litigated don't
necessarily mean that it's
true!
