Running with some C16, how long would it take to kill O2 Sensors, etc...

If somebody is planning to run a mix of Octane93 and C-16 (leaded), how long would it take for the O2 sensors to be non-functionnal? What about the cats?

Would running a "one-time" 5 gallons mix of 93/C-16 would crap out the cats/O2???

I dunno, but couldn't it cause permanant clogging of the Cats?

Even if you run just a little, and it plugs up just a little... I think it'd still be bad.

I wouldn't do it.

You'll poison them right away. And...

If your state does a litmus test on the exhaust for exhaust emissions you'll never pass federal/state emissions again due to lead in the exhaust.

Bottom line: don't do it!!!!
