Fortunately I do not have to worry about gasoline,except in my pre-29's.

My diesels use home heating oil bought at the best price wholesale for cash as I have 2 1,000 gallon tanks,one for the home heating system and one under the carriage barn with a hand pump that I restored which serves my diesels.

The engines of my antiques were designed for lower octane lead-free gas,tetra-ethyl lead was simply an additive used to stop "pinging"when motors began using higher compression ratios.
