Hi Ducked ... strange text format ... ??
Looks like you may have looked online and seen AI response about Lead and deposits ..
My post was based on use of Avgas years ago in car engines that were not automatically advanced / retarded ignitions etc - they were basically fixed for an octane significantly lower than Avgas - which was often over 110 rating ...
With regard to petrol in diesel - many farmers and trucks did that to 'winterise' the fuel - to stop the parafins dropping out and clogging the fuel filters. Nowadays rarely seen as winter diesels are treated for lower temps use ..... only if you still have summer diesel in the tank - a dose of ie 3 - 5% petrol can be used ... in severe cases up to 10%. The other fuel that can be used instead of diesel or as a boost for winter - is Kerosine ....
In arctic conditions diesel is actually DPK .... Dual Purpose Kerosine.
