Some years ago I obtained a "barn find" vehicle that still had some 1970s leaded gasoline in the tank. After much work getting things ready to run, I decided the best thing to do with the old gasoline was to install a disposable fuel filter and just run it through the engine.

The scent of leaded gas is something entirely different from modern products. Sweet-smelling and rather pleasant, it triggered childhood memories I didn't know I had.

Of course knowing what leaded gasoline smells like could have contributed to other issues...
