"Does anyone know for sure, what the correct fuel is, to be using in an 86 Merc 115hp? Originally, the motor was designed to take leaded fuel at about 94 or maybe 96 octane. (Mixed with oil at 50:1) Now it obviusly has to run unleaded. But should I be using regular unleaded at 92 octane, or mid range at 95 octane, or high performance octane of 98 rating? And should I be mixing lead additive with it, or not? I know of similar motors detonating pistons recently, and the talk has been that it is due to the new unleaded fuel replacing the traditional leaded fuel. Does anyone know for sure??? Thanks!"
