First Aid for Lead Poisoned Cayman

Hi All:

I was thinking about the DE this weekend - and remembered that one of the Cayman owners filled up his car with race gas - leaded race gas.



No - it wasn't me.

His strategy was to burn it out quickly and then get some good gas in it. Should he have pumped his Cayman's stomach? Use the chemical engineer's adage (dilution is the solution to pollution - blend in good gas)?

What are the realistic consequences? O2 sensor problems? Catalytic converter problems? I snooped - EPA limits lead to 0.1 grams per gallon. How much havoc could 1.2 grams of lead do to a Cayman?

Just curious.

Dfogal.
