Did 2 liter pinto engines run on leaded petrol?
No, the 2-liter Pinto engines were not designed to run on leaded petrol. These engines, produced in the 1970s and 1980s, were generally designed to operate on unleaded fuel, aligning with the automotive industry's shift towards unleaded petrol during that time. Using leaded petrol could potentially damage the engine's catalytic converters, which were increasingly being used in vehicles to reduce emissions.

Is environment friendly leaded petrol or normal petrol?
Normal petrol is generally considered more environmentally friendly than leaded petrol. Leaded petrol contains tetraethyl lead, a toxic substance that contributes to air pollution and has harmful effects on human health and the environment. The use of leaded petrol has been phased out in most countries due to these negative impacts, while unleaded petrol is designed to minimize emissions and reduce environmental harm. Overall, unleaded petrol is the better option for protecting both health and the environment.
Can you used leaded petrol in lieu of unleaded in an emergency?
Yes. The biggest risk of leaded gas is that you will "poison" the catalytic converter, meaning that you'll flunk your next emissions test. However, apparently you might get away with using a couple of gallons. Otherwise, occasional use of leaded fuel shouldn't hurt your engine. If I were stuck in the middle of the Amazon with an empty gas tank, I'd definitely accept any leaded fuel that came my way. Be aware that most pumps that still sell leaded gas use larger nozzles (deliberately) that won't fit in the fuel filler of unleaded cars. So you'll need a long funnel or something like that.
Is there any amount of lead in unleaded petrol?
put simply... no. lead would bond to the metal fillers in a catalytic converter and o2 sensors clogging them or shorting them out.
