Damn premium fuel!

I've had my EJ20G idling and reving in my L series for a total of about an hour so far, just running off the crap regular unleaded at the very bottom of the tank.
Today I finally went and got 10L of BP Ultimate 98 and bunged it in. Had the motor running for a couple of minutes on that and it wouldn't hold idle. Hmm must be a fuel pressure problem - sure enough one of the injectors is pissing fuel onto the exhaust header!
Damn premium fuel must have cleaned out whatever gunk was sealing up the old O-rings in there!
Oh well, good excuse to renew them - probably should have done that already.
