June 8, 201412 yr #1 Hey guys,Just had my car retune after the last set of mods im on my second tank of fuel and am sure my engine is pinging, sounds like marbles tapping together in my engine and sounds worse when it revs. I run bp 98 ultimate from a busy servo my tuner says it must be bad fuel. Any thoughts and whats the best way to drain a fuel tank in these guys?
June 8, 201412 yr #3 Remove back seat!Undo fuel hose and connect a hose to the outlet!Use a piece of wire and trip the fuel pump relay in the engine bay! Car on reds and away you go fuel to sniff!!!

June 9, 201412 yr #7 Author BP Ultimate is where I got the bad fuel batch from otherwise I have always used them.When starting the car this morning with the Vpower it sounded so much worse then it didyesterday with the BP Ultimate.Im uploading vids to youtube from yesterday and today will post links soon.It may not even be a ping I have had a allot of work done in the last few weeks and never heard the car pingbefore so I dont really know the sound.
June 9, 201412 yr #8 marbles under the bonnet sounds nasty.Tried different fuel , so not that.I'm no tuner, next stop fuel delivery( could be a lot of things)filter, pump. squirters etccall your tuner ASAP and absolutely no boost(pm me with your number) Edited June 9, 201412 yr by Buf-Phoon

June 9, 201412 yr #10 Neither of those vids is engine ping. You have got other issues like idler bearing noise or alternator bearing or even turbo impellor scrapping inside the housing. You could remove the engine belt and start the engine briefly and that would remove the first two variables. If the noise is still there remove the intake pipe off the turbo and ( with the engine not running ) look and feel for any for any scrapping of the impellor in the housing. Even check for loose bolts ect.
