It would help if people did a Search of this site before posing such a general question.

Red Line Lead Substitute uses sodium as the benign dissimilar preventive for the aforementioned micro welds. Potassium was tried in Europe but caused deposits.

As the previous posters mention, Amoco lead-free gasoline was used by tens of millions of motorists in the East and Midwest over hundreds of millions of miles.

I'd be more concerned about using antifreeze instead of reverse osmosis water and a quality rust/corrosion inhibitor in any car not seeing two consecutive nights of a hard freeze, 30 or under, or if air conditioning, since even in LA or Phoenix in August straight water can allow the heater core to freeze. See the Technical link on no-rosion.com Red Line Water Wetter is also a good product.

You might also direct concern to still using DOT 3 or 4 (Girling) instead of DOT 5 silicone brake fluid, which is non-hydroscopic; will not draw moisture from the ambient air, which is what corrodes master and wheel cylinders. NAPA carries this and despite label, it is all made by Dow Corning.
