Can I run my (soon to be in my possesion) 1990 Subaru Brumby on unleaded fuel or do I have to use additives?

That's not the reason for a catalytic converter.RSR 555 wrote:I'm lead to believe all car manifactured after 1987 were all designed to run on unleaded. The main thing needed is a Catalytic Converter to burn unburnt fuel. Pretty much any Suby was designed to run on unleaded fuel as leaded fuel was banned in Japan in the late 70s
Oh thanks Gary.. I know that's what a Cat does but I've always been thought that it's there because when unburnt unleaded fuel hits hot exhaust system it turns into poisonous/carcinogenic/ozone depleting gasses. So when I called it burning.. I was just making it simple instead of having to run a science leason course.littlewhiteute wrote:That's not the reason for a catalytic converter.
It's a 3 way chemical reaction.
Cat converters do what they say, turn HC, CO and NOX into N, H2O, CO2 and O2. They will still do this with leaded fuel, but with an extremely short life because leaded fuel poisons the catalyst.
We got one made for Sunnie the Brumby - it was about the same cost and they only needed the car for a day during business hours. Dropped it off in the morning, picked it up after work on the same day. Great result.RSR 555 wrote:Some nice soft vinyl works a treat. I had a quote to make a new one for my Brumby.. with all the clips and stuff, it came to $220

Could you please stay on topic? It's the general car forum etiquette.SuperSonicSuperMoose wrote:Whilst you all are here, what material is best for making a soft tonneau cover for my beast? I cant afford a brand new one at the moment, and i'm not having any luck with any second hand ones. Also, my Brumby has a roll bar installed, so I would need to work around it, and i figured it would be easier, quicker, and cheaper, to make one myself as opposed to having it measured up and made by a shop. So anyhoo, any suggestions on material?
Thanks, SSSM

But it's fun to mess with your head Jules..TOONGA wrote:LOL can you go and post that in my brumby thread
you could take some measurements from a brumby tonneau cover, get a tonneau from a larger vehicle, steal your mums sowing machine and stitch one up.
Im sure your mum would love the damage it would cause to her singer.
