Default And the Pinging starts
The heat has arrived here in North Texas and the pinging is back. I know there is a product
called Rocket Fuel and it works well but I cant always get it. What other additives do you guys suggest. Thanks.

I run 93 and winter or summer I never get ping. I know its as hot here as it is in Texas. Whats up? Do you think the summer blend of fuel is causing it?

I buy the same fuel from the same place summer and winter and only get a ping in the summer time. They say its the heat and bad fuel. I always use 93 oct.

Folks around here recommend Seafoam. Our HD dealer uses it.
