SHELL GASOLINE

 
Quoted from an SAE publication 902104, dated 1990 :
Gasoline Additives: When and Why

"Shell oil company in 1953 introduced an organophosphorous compound, tricresyl phosphate (TCP)....
When phosphorus was used, a premium gasoline containing 3.17 g Pb/gal, would also contain about 380 ppm of TCP (1.5 g/gal)."
