    You can get the valves changed to suit unleaded and the owner should tell you if it's been done allready. But if not you can buy a fuel additive in special measuring bottles. if you put 20 litres of fuel in you give the bottle a squeeze till it fills the top of the bottle to the 20 litre mark and poor it in the tank. doesn't need much and I've heard you don't have to use it every time you fill.

    The tank was 200L but as I was only earning bugger all I used to chuck in $50 which would have been around 60L + all I ran was premium unleaded.

    My first stage 1 used to get 450ks from 70L

    As long as you don't thrush the hell out of them and change gear at a good rev range (unlike me) you might even get more

    Not too bad at all really. Just need to factor it into the costs of going up to Exmouth, Red Bluff etc. Ohwell. Gas conversion could be a real goer.

    My LWB Holden 186 was getting 25L per 100km. I've just had the timing set, a carby kit put through it and new spark plugs. I'll see what I'm getting now and post back here.

    As for lead additives, there is an inline device from NZ called a fuelstar. its a one off set and forget device. easier then worrying about liquid additives.
