<VV> Dieseling

[Mark Durham]

hmmm, regular gas burns faster and would certainly cause pinging,
detonation, and yes that would heat up the engine so it could diesel.
So if you are sure that is it add some 92 octane to it and see if it
goes away. Mark Durham

Really?  I'd say the #1 reason it diesels is regular gas.
