No offense intended!
Thank you all for still replying, even when I question your advice. Believe me, no offense was intended!
'Stang, there's nothing in your first post that tells me your an engineer. That certainly adds credibility to your view. That is exactly the sort of information I was asking for when I issued my "CFR". However, mere recitation of credentials does not necessarily carry the day. I have been a member of my profession for well over three decades, and have taught high level seminars on my specialty. Would you therefore accept my opinion, even in my area of expertise? I certainly hope not! You would rightly ask that I support that opinion with facts. Your citation to what might happen if one uses the wrong converter is not perfectly on point, but is exactly the sort of facts I seek!
I am intrigued by the idea that race car engines use lead as octane boosters, but that's hardly convincing either, for a couple of reasons. First, I doubt they expect the race engine to last a couple of hundred thousand miles. Second, racing power plants frequently have but a nodding acquaintance with production engines.
Voiding the warranty is not an issue, because my son's work outside the US will undoubtedly last longer than the warranty on the Honda.
Now, I have probably unintentionally insulted all of you. Let me apologize again – and thank you for your past and future contributions to my education. I will listen carefully to what you all have to say, and relay your thoughts to my son.
