There was an error in there, toward the end, about leaded gasoline being outlawed from motor vehicle fuel in 1966, but otherwise it was an interesting video.potownrob wrote:https://youtu.be/45CatAeWr3c

Everything is poisonous, if you get too much of it.
What wasn't mentioned was how they came across the fact that lead increased fuel octane ratings.
The original hypothesis was that by coloring the fuel, it would absorb light in a specific wavelength and that would change the rate at which it ignited.
They got all happy-like when they found that when a certain dye was added to the gasoline the octane rating improved. When they dug in deeper, they found that it wasn't the color of the fuel, it was the lead in the dye that increased the octane rating.
Dyeing, dying, it's all the same.
