I stopped using a lead additive 5 years ago. I had to clean out and rebuild the carb every year due to a white, gummy residue in the carb. Never had it again after stopping the additive. And I agree - the new gas has eaten rubber parts in the gas line and fuel pump. Also messed up my lawn tractor, weed wacker, and snow blower.
