now if my memory serves me right, then legally a cat convertor has to be used if a car is running on unleaded.
i got thinking before about all the older cars that used to run on leaded petrol and figured that since alot of the owners have got the valves done to run unleaded, then shouldnt they also be running a cat convertor? (even cars that run flash lube too) i seriously doubt that anybody would have even thought of this when they had the valves done and im sure the mechanics wouldnt have mentioned it either. so this could leave a little grey area where all these cars are technically unroadworthy, which could leave RWC testers liable for passing an un-RWC car. it could also leave you without insurance too (if they really didnt want to pay out your claim). im sure the Greenies wouldnt like the extra pollution either. so was making leaded petrol redundant really thought about properly in the first place? feel free to comment and add your thoughts. |
