...converter, however, raises some new and very sticky difficulties of its own. Most important is the fact that it cannot be used with leaded gasoline, since even a trace of lead would foul the device beyond repair.

(Incidentally, both the AP and this reporter are guilty of stating no time remained in that game, when actually a fraction of a second was left before the buzzer...
