Unleaded V6's



Keith Walker says:

"A couple of Australian correspondents have mentioned when the
unleaded GTV6 engines came into use."  and passes on that all the V6's are
capable of running on unleaded.

This is useful info since leaded (Super) is becoming more expensive as they
tax we environmental vandals (classic car drivers) more and more.

The issue is not really that the earlier cars could not run on Unleaded,
more that the later cars required it, presumably because they had a cat
which would be ruined by the leaded fuel. From 1986 all new cars had to use
Unleaded only by law. Fuel fillers were modified so that only Unleaded pump
nozzles would fit cars produced after 1986.
