Question

What can cause a diesel engine to have a "pinging" sound? Bad fuel? Number One diesel? ?

Answer 1

The reason for the pinging sound is due to the usage of lower quality oil itself. Diesel is a lower quality oil out of crude and it has the nature of itself to be more emissable compared to petrol.

Answer 2

Add some additive octane boost & cleaner> Most auto parts stock it> I run it in every tank >Dodge diesel 04.5 =425 Hp  

Answer 3

Remember, diesels "ping" opposite of gas.  They ping "cold" and under light load.  So yeah, if you're using #1 in summer, I'd run that out quick and get some summer fuel in it and see if it goes away.

Answer 4

Number one diesel is for winter only.  So if you are using it in warm weather that is the problem.
