I had heard once that if one had pinging or if higher octane fuels
were not available, a few moth balls (nitrobenzene) could be added
when re-filling the tank.
I told this to may late step-father who loved his old, (pinging) 2 dr
Mercedes. He had such good luck that afterwards, that for 20 years he
always carried a Ziplock of moth balls in the trunk and always added
some when re-fueling. I think it had over 300M miles when he died,
and his son still drives the car today.
I haven't needed to do this for my XJ, but I wouldn't hesitate.
For years, I regularly added them when re-filling my previous car,
with no known negative effects.
DISCLAIMER: I have not researched any environmental effects, BUT I
never had clogging of the cat converter with my prior car - a '97
Mercury Sable wagon - or any other side effects, after years. (I
guess I can't attribute the $3500 transmission failure at 56,000
miles... and, gee, then I got $3500 to trade it few months later - But
this isn't the palce for that rant (if I cared about Ford.)
