I am at a bit of a lost it has happen a couple of times now since returning to Melbourne from Adelaide. The plugs have fouled on cylinders. Now it is not consistent for which cylinder, and it is not the same fuel station. I have reset the computuer numerous times. And, the tune is the same as I have used for many months. What happens is, the car is hard to start then it starts poorly and from that point forth it runs on 4-5 clyinders with the rest fouled. They are so fouled that I have had to mechanically clean them. The cylinders are not consistent, first it was #6 then #2 and #5, and tonight #1. I have been able to in some cases give it an Italian tune (a good hard run). But, if I miss the oppurtunity, the plugs remain fouled regardless. Has Mlebourne's fuel gone to $hit or is there something I am missing.
You have a suspicion that fuel could be contaminated with shit. Have you checked your fuel tank. Sounds like you have diesel contamination or worse. Syphon out all your fuel, pass it through a filter and have a look at the filter. Fresh fuel will help.
awe shit. I never thought of diesel contamination. I filled from a jerry can recently, I might have been the same one I use for the tow car (diesel). Any ideas on a good flush method. (or just more WOT runs).
Syphon as much fuel out of the tank as possible. Then fill it up to dilute the remaining contamination. Then drive. If its really bad, some might advise removing and emptying the tank
