You can use LRP (if you can find it nowadays), otherwise unleaded with an additive, if your head hasn't been converted to accept unleaded fuel. Might be worth doing the conversion.

Basically hardened valve seats are inserted into the head. Most decent engineering shops should be able to do it. I'm busy getting my 1000S head converted to unleaded.

Hannes, if you're based in the Jhb area, Dez from Dezs Minis can do the conversion for you for around the R2000 marker.
