Red Line 60202 Lead Substitute Fuel Additive - 355ml
Red Line fuel additive for older petrol engines originally designed to operate on leaded fuel, particularly racing, marine and off-road applications listed in the compatibility table.
Red Line Lead Substitute is designed to help protect exhaust valve seats in engines that relied on the protective effect of leaded petrol. It provides a practical treatment for older engines where running continuously on unleaded or low-lead fuel could contribute to valve-seat wear.
The concentrated formula is added directly to the petrol tank. Red Line also states that it helps clean carburettor deposits and fuel injectors and is safe for catalytic converters. One 355ml / 12oz bottle treats up to approximately 95 litres / 25 US gallons of petrol.
This is a specialist additive for engines that genuinely require lead-related valve-seat protection. It should not be treated as a general-purpose additive for modern petrol vehicles. Red Line specifies this product for racing, marine or off-road use only.

Other items to consider: When maintaining an older petrol fuel system, you may also want to consider purchasing a suitable fuel filter, spark plugs, carburettor or injector cleaning products, fuel hose and appropriate service consumables.
Useful tools / consumables: Measuring container where required, fuel-safe funnel, protective gloves and workshop towels.
Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Easy. The additive is poured directly into the fuel tank, but the correct treatment rate and application should be observed.
