You ABSOLUTELY CANNOT use leaded fuel in your vehicle. If it starts, it will run terribly, and you can cause permanent engine damage. Sensors will not read properly, your engine will run hot or overheat quickly and your spark plugs will "foul". The fuel pump will have to work harder because the leaded fuel is thicker/heavier that what it is designed for. Not to mention the amount of thick black smoke the vehicle will emit.

You'll also foul up the oxygen sensors, (4) that are expensive to replace. Try and find where the stations are that sell unleaded. The EU is trying to phase them out and others are following suit. Hopefully you'll get more choices to buy the right fuel. Using the wrong stuff is going to be an expensive headache for you.

It won't reason any actual injury besides the indisputable fact that it is going to positioned on out and want rebuilt swifter than a motor designed for unleaded. certainly your motorbike could be nicely suited because of the fact the final 365 days of recent motorcycles (and autos) set up for leaded gas replaced into 1978 (some years later than autos)

Basically the cat convertors will plug up.. also you will destroy the sensors that the computer needs to decide how much fuel the engine needs...(O2 sensors)
Plus add the injectors getting plugged up about the same time
Unless you want to yank the motor and go with a non computerized one.. youre kind of stuck

it will only run for a short time, and the catalytic converter will clog up, and plug the exhaust and melt the coating on the valves, and it will cost you a bunch of money to repair it , and there is no way around a O.B.II Diagnostic system , (On board diagnostic system II )you need UN leaded fuel only, you need a different car or SUV, OBD I systems there is a way around it but not yours.

Eventually the catylist converter will stop up, may take a few thousand of miles, and may give the h2o sensors false readings

Over time the Catlitic convertor will stop up and cause a loss of power.

The gas nozzle won't fit in the gas tank (too big, done on purpose), leaded fuel will damage cat. converters

Lead will affect the catalytic convertor & plug it up
