Hi just checking would any one know if its safe to use a Fuel Catalyst which drops in to you tank as I have got hold of a stage 3 head to which I have just found out after removing the valves its leaded and not unleaded
I only do about 300 miles to 800 miles a year, so to spend the extra money on having the work done isn’t worth it to me
Or can someone recommend any think ??

Don't waste your money on a fuel catalyst, they simply don't work. Just buy a bottle of additive to put in whenever you fill up.

Drop in solid catalysts are snake-oil. However that begs the question... are the liquid additives safe with the converter? I would look on the bottle for the manufacturer's contact information and see what they have to say. If the additive will eventually cause you to fail emissions testing it isn't a good choice.
