   Fair enough, i think what your saying is that your car hasn't run very well today and you think the cause of this may be that you had put some bad fuel into the car?
   
   Run the tank until almost empty and then fill up, will tell you it it was just the fuel. Add some red-x aswell if you wish.

   Blue smoke is usually oil.

   Yup blue smoke is when its burning oil and that could mean new piston rings.

   I thought blue smoke was somthing to do with the turbo.
