we are using the recomended ron 91 fuel. just standard unleadded. i know being a manual it can ping if loaded up low in the rev range but the pinging is happening at about 3000rpm when accelerating hard. Will wait till we put a tank of better fuel in it.And if it still happends then i'll make it suzuki's problem. B4T |

We get alot of problems at work which we believe is associated to fuel quality. Pinging, engine warnings, sludging, power loss, hesitation etc etc. But we can't tell a customer to use premium because apparently our vehicles can use ethanol (SATAN) and 91RON. Premium fuel will 95% of the time fix the problem. But, if it still does it with premium you may have another problem.. |

I could understand a few slight 'pings' here and there but in this day and age continual pinging should be a thing of the past. Everything new out there should have a knock sensor which will retard the timing a fraction through the ecu when pinging is sensed. Dan |
