rce or av gas through injectors?

I was wondering if this is possible, I know you cant use leaded fuel in injectors but Im not sure what the differences are in race formula or aviation fuel.
thanks
Jack

I was told the leaded gas would plug up the injectors, is this not true?

Not true; however, it'll shorten the life of your O2 sensor, and I believe if you have a catalytic converter, leaded fuel will drastically shorten its life too. Injectors are fine.
