Can anyone tell me about these lead balls you can buy which you put in your fuel tank as a replacement for the unleaded additives that most people use.
Does anyone use them here? or does anyone know anything about them? I am clueless.

Cheers!

They're in like a mesh net thing and you just plop in. Apparently.

Sound like a money making scam to me. I've always just used unleaded on my older cars with no problems. Some may need tie ignition retarding slightly to overcome pinking, but super plus should sort this out.

Ask the seller to provide evidence of effectiveness from a recognised independent testing body. Then wait for a very long time for an answer. In the intervening period of eternity, either use an additive or fit an unleaded head.

In other words it`s a scam, served with a side order of scam, with scam sauce, served on a bed of scam, with a scam garnish.

He does have 100% feedback from people saying good product etc etc.
I think if no one here has used them I'll just stick with the liquid I put in.

You'll need a left handed screwdriver to fit them

... but don't waste you time with an unleaded head. If you get valve recession, fit one then, if you don't then don't bother. The only damage you can do to your existing engine will be valve seats or valves which you would be replacing anyway with a new head!!!
