So you point is that lead scavenging agent isn't needed because there's
not that much lead in the 100LL?



My curiosity was: What quantity (by weight) of lead is in 100 gallons of
100LL?

I picked 100 gallons because I didn't want some small fraction. As it turns
out, 2 grams/gallon is not a small fraction.

I used the term "actual lead" because I wanted to know the amount of lead
left behind if "everything" else were to be distilled away.

My side point was: Lead = "ATTACK!" to the Greens ...1 gram, 2 grams, 15
grams, 0.14 grams, doesn't matter to them - it's LEAD!!!

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avgas :
"Avgas 100LL contains a maximum of 2 grams of lead per US gallon"

1,000 grams (kilo) = 2.2 lbs
500 gallons of 100LL = 2.2 lbs of lead.

Now the world make sense to me.
