                      UNLEADED PETROL INJECTION
   
   Brethren,
   
   This question will be of more interest to our UK & European friends.
   
   With the progressive global withdrawal of leaded petrol availability, can 
   someone tell me what is the latest thinking on the effect of unleaded 
   fuel on PI shuttle pumps and metering distributors  - close tolerance 
   components which, I understand, were designed to use the Pb content of 
   the petrol for lubrication?
   
   Is an upper cylinder lubricant  - added to the fuel tank, not metered - 
   recommended, or is there a wonder drug on the horizon?
   
   Hoping I can remain at 106 psi,
