Lead additives are a myth. 100% waste of money. If you did some extensive work on your fuel system you might be able to run E85. You will have to set it up to run quite a bit richer since the Ethanol has less BTU per gallon. Be sure that you have also updated the rubber parts of your fuel system, E85 will attack certain types of rubber.
