C1Difficulty 3/5

If your vehicle is fitted with a petrol engine and has a catalytic converter in the exhaust, what fuel should you use?

Correct answer

Unleaded petrol.

Catalytic converters that a petrol engine may be fitted with are incompatible with anti-knock additives containing lead, which is why, whenever this device is fitted to our engine, the fuel that must be used is unleaded petrol.
