Hi Ken, Interesting..BUT, I expect that was an "old wives tale", that somehow got started in the ground school... Auto gas in the late 40's had very little lead, except for the super hi test..... Many gasoline stations still had unleaded fuel available. The t-craft was certified on 73 octane auto fuel - no lead.....(C-65/75 engines...). So maybe everyone was afraid of lead in those days. (problems we see today using 100LL. Continental manual still advises if one is to store the engine, it shold be run on unleaded fuel for 15 min....prior to shut down. Corrosion from the tetra Ethyl lead is the potential problem.... Straining theu 6 shop towels would not remove lead as the lead is in a soluble form, but it might collect water contamination and sediments....A chammie skin does a better job on water and trash......
