Leaded fuel additive

[AdamC3046]

Hi,

I've just bought an MGB GT and it has not undergone the Unleaded conversion, so needs the additive.
The owner supplied me with a bottle, and I will buy another tomorrow, and I was wondering how often I should add it to the fuel tank.

I intend to use it on weekends, and short trips to the shop during the week. The previous owner added it every 3 or so fill-ups, but he didn't drive the car as frequently as I intend to.

Thanks,
Adam.

drive the car a lot more and worry a lot less about the additive

using it only for weekends and short trips to the shop during the week will do more damage than not using a lead additive

you're already in the mentality of the stereotype MGB owner

it's the previous and present owners that make and keep classics unreliable, slow and poor handling when with a different attitude and regular use with full and proper servicing, maintenance and repairs you could make and keep your B reliable, nippy and with nice handling

It's actually my only car, so I was being light with the amount I will be using it, so as to cause no alarm. Weekends will consist of 50-100 mile-round trips, and weekdays are likely to consist of daily food shops, as well as other uses for cars (not including driving to work).

But the question was not answered. I was trying to ask how much I'd need to run a daily drive car.
