WHAT DOES LEAD REPLACEMENT PETROL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Lead Replacement Petrol

Lead Replacement Petrol is a fuel developed to provide an alternative to leaded petrol. Leaded four star petrol was withdrawn from sale in the UK 2000, eight years after the last cars using it were made, and LRP was introduced containing other metal salts, enabling the large numbers of cars still using the fuel to continue running. Leaded petrol contained a substance known as tetraethyl lead or TEL, a compound of lead in liquid form originally added to petrol to increase its octane rating. A side effect of adding TEL is that a layer of lead compounds forms on the valve faces of the engine, retarding wear. Lead is very toxic and lead compounds in exhaust gases escape into the atmosphere causing pollution. Impacts on human health are widely documented. This led to the introduction of lead-free petrol. With normal lead-free petrol an adjustment to the engine's ignition timing solved pre-detonation problems caused by the lower octane rating, but this did nothing to prevent accelerated valve wear. The use of lead in petrol had allowed the machining of valve seats directly in the cast iron or aluminium cylinder heads.
