Leaded fuel kills O2 sensors?

For those of you running closed loop feedback w/ your standalone EMS, this is something to consider. Just cause you have gone cat-less doesn't mean you're off the hook. Hope those sensors are easy to get to!
ok, back to work folks!

Leaded fuel contaminates wide-band sensors after about 200 hours of use. This makes them suitable for short tuning sessions on the dyno and limited use on track, but not for an entire racing season.

C16, 110, or any race gas is ususally always the prefered method of octane over meth. Reason being what if something goes wrong with the meth pump....boom.

Small price to pay...

+1 even my local shop don't recommend running pure C16 at the track or all the time since it will kill the 02 sensor overtime.
