Will a small amount (say 5%) of LRP in unleaded damage a cat?
Thanks in advance.

As a regular thing, or do you mean you have accidentally put in a bit of LRP? (Doesn't the different size nozzle prevent that?)

I have a car that's had both in, but no LRP lately. I'm going to scrap it but it's 2/3 full of fuel which I'd rather put in my Cavalier than give to the scrap man.
Cheers

Lawnmower?

As an aside, how confident are you that emptying the petrol tank is the safest way to spend an evening and save £25?

You will need to filter it well if you suck it out of an old tank whatever you put it in.

LRP normally uses phosphorus in place of lead and it is death to cats.
