Bluebird bad fuel fix

You may be interested to know about the pinging we encountered in one of our previous vehicles, a Nissan Bluebird, which started running roughly and pinging after we filled it with fuel from a cheap outlet. By diluting the tank fairly rapidly we eventually rectified the problem and began running well again.

If you think you've copped some bad fuel one way to fix it is to keep topping it up with good fuel as the fuel level drops.
