Fuel System: By popular demand!

[Hawklover]

For those of you out there in gear head land that will accept nothing but the best:

After KEMCOOIL Corp closed shop and with that their OS-130 TEL qt containers...........new reason to rejoice! Wild Bill Corvette in Wrentham(sp) Mass has purchased the rights to this product and has contracted with a corp to again produce pure TEL (53 grams/qt).

Those with R series engines now have the good stuff available again, yes folks it's 1963 all over again.....lets get those tail pipes powder gray!

[StudeRich]

First of all it would be a great idea if you told us what the He@* OS-130 TEL is!
A new kind of telephone that keeps your exhaust pipes clean? Huh!

[BobPalma]

Agreed, Rich, "somewhat" vague.

I'm sure TEL stands for Tetra Ethyl Lead, however. BP

Just run some 100LL avgas if you need a good dose of TEL. Only need to run a tank or two every year to leep things "leaded".

[DEEPNHOCK]

Rejoice....
If and when he gyrates through all the EPA regulations and federal laws about his wondergoo, and actually brings it to market....

When I was in high school (boarding school), I had a friend who had been poisoned by TEL working in a gas station for the summer. ALL his hair fell out and would never grow back. When I say all, I mean ALL. No eyebrows, no nasal hair, no pubic hair, no hair in his ears, nothing. His insurance company had bought him a wig, but it looked terrible, like it was so fake. Tetraethylead can be absorbed though the skin. If you ever get the real thing, be very careful. I've already lost most of my hair, I don't think from that, though.

I interviewed and almost did an internship with UOP back in the 1970's...
I know of what you speak...

Hmm, don't know too many private air strips in the middle of NYC.

Ah, "off road use only" products. Every time I see those four words, I can't help but imagine the willpower it takes not to put one of these next to that line:

It's true.........that 'ol R-1 runs like a watch with that 'magic' potion in her...........zero ping even in 100 degree temp with the a/c on..........life is good............thank you 'boss' Kettering!!!!!!!
