Unleaded
I've just bought my 2.8is with 114 thou miles on the clock, and when filling it up noticed a coat hanger type wire attached to the fuel filler cap going into the tank. I pulled it out of the petrol tank and at the end of it sitting in the tank is a metal mesh bag with tin pellets in. Upon further investigation it appears that this is in the tank to alter the chemicals in unleaded petrol - and thus it make the car run on unleaded without any further mods. I spoke to an expert on this and he said being that the mileage is so high on the engine he would recommend leaving the bag in the tank and doing nothing else as the cylinder head over the years has created a kind of memory of the leaded fuel and has hardened up. Any views on this? It a Broquet Fuel Catalyst ... apparently. You can find it on the web. Burt
