No.  The lead wasn't really 'dissolve' in gasoline as much as it is
reacted with certain elements to form additional compounds.  That reaction won't occur again under normal circumstances.

But your comment got me thinking about chemistry classes.  Time for chemistry class.

Try this one Ed.....toothpaste.  Or maybe swish it in a warm brine solution.  Might want to check the toxicity of poisonous halides first, though.



I like it, Ernest.  But, your correct, I  would not want to be charged as a terrorist chemist trying to create  poisonous gases using Fluoride tooth paste to coat spark plugs.{:>)
