Default 100LL Aviation Fuel

Can you run 100LL Aviation Fuel without any damage to the S2K?

It's about $1.50 cheaper per gallon than the 100 Octane racing fuel around here.

Just wonderin'

Is it leaded? If so, you will ruin your Cat and O2 sensors.

That fuel has lead in it. I don't think you should use it.

I believe the LL stands for low lead, as opposed to no lead which is what is needed to keep the cat and sensors alive.
