I had a C reg Renault 5 1.1 TL, and it took unleaded just fine, with no need to alternate.

It don't matter cause you can't purchase unleaded petrol nor can you purchase an additive for it. Unleaded petrol will not harm your engine in any way. Keep your oil changed regularly and that will do the trick. Leaded gasoline in the old days helped to lube the engine...as the lead did this. Today's engine oils take care of that problem.

The hole where the petrol cap goes is made smaller on an unleaded car so you shouldn't be able to fit a leaded petrol pump inside, so check if the leaded pump fits if not theres your answer.

D reg renault 5 is leaded fuel, unless it is fitted with a minus 4 tdc pickup.....you can telll its a minus 4 tdc because it is yellow and its the lead that runs from the ignition module to the fly wheel pick up, it retards the timing by 4 degrees.......

In present day engines, the suitable fee gasoline (in many circumstances talked about as 'tremendous' Unleaded or similar) has a larger octane volume. You get a mild strengthen in MPG over the approach the tank and a mild performance strengthen too. the advice about pinking is partly acceptable, even with the reality that in present day autos this isn't an situation. in reality, it truly works out an analogous in words of fee over the approach a tank. If i will arise with the money for it, I positioned severe octane gasoline in my vehicle, if i will't i do not difficulty. in case you do not understand some thing about autos, the three maximum important issues are: a million) do not rigidity your vehicle confusing at the same time as the engine is warming up. Takes about ten minutes - look on the temp. gauge on your sprint. 2) continually purchase the costliest oil you could arise with the money for. 3) continually verify your oil each month. once you've a present day vehicle (esp. German or eastern), verify the oil oftentimes and bypass ordinary on the carry close, it will bypass on for properly over 150,000 miles a minimum of.

It runs on unleaded, which is wonderful since you can't even find leaded fuel these days, at least in the United States.

It takes UNLEADED.
Get a Haynes book & verify - but it will happily run on normal unleaded.

If you get the Chassis number which is on the regestration documents, and get in touch with a main Renault dealer, they can look it up and let you know.
