| Feb 25 at 12:24 | comment | added | Andrew | From a web search I get this quote "deposit modifier used in leaded gasoline was nickel isodecylorthophosphate, which was introduced by. Sinclair Oil" cited to Gibbs, JM "Gasoline Additives - when and why" Vol. 99, Section 4: JOURNAL OF FUELS & LUBRICANTS (1990), pp. 618-638 (21 pages) Published By: SAE International, | |
