How does one run leaded fuel with O2 sensors?

No problem running leaded race fuel with o2's....you just have to replace them frequently.

Colonel is running a DFI system, i dont know if it is the GEN VII DFI or the FAST system but there are many people who run nothing but leaded gas on their 02 sensors with the FAST system and they haven't fouled one yet.

You can get the FAST system with Wide Band O2 sensors, and still use leaded gas...but the WB O2 sensors will foul out.......after about 650+ hours of use!!

Yes, you can run leaded fuel with the FAST system. Might foul one out eventually but it should be a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time from now (like probably greater than the life of the engine.)

The biggest reason we went with this system is so that we could run leaded race fuel.

Sorry, but you'll hear it here first!

The holdup is that we decided to rethink the oiling system. Better safe than sorry.

No dry sump. We believe what we've done to the factory pump will make it adequate.

We're waiting on this part and that part. You know how it goes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
