 Tetraethyl lead (Pb(C₂H₅)₄) is added to aviation gasoline used in piston-engine aircraft to prevent engine knocking and to raise octane levels. While fuel with less lead can be made, it becomes harder to meet the high-octane requirements needed for high-performance aircraft. Switching to unleaded aviation fuel is challenging for several reasons, including cost, FAA safety regulations, and engine compatibility. Creating a fuel that meets safety standards, provides enough octane for proper engine performance, and is affordable is a complicated process.
