2012 3.2 4x4 Rough idle beyond words f#%k
Hi guys, new here, how are we? I had low fuel (45km to empty) and fuelled up at a BP with ultimate diesel. After a couple of kms I could feel some really odd hits and misses, especially as I was decelerating. At the lights or under 1200rpm just sitting there the gauge on the revs would jump 2-3mm and drop about same. A touch of lag on takeoff but seemed ok under normal driving speeds. It’s gotten a hell of a lot worse and I nursed it home and it sounds bloody horrid now every time I turn it over. Violently moving the needle on the dash. Any help would put me at ease. Thanks crew. If it’s been answered can anyone help me with a link please. Cheers

Welcome to the North American Ranger forum
Unfortunately we could never get your T6 model Rangers here, they were sold every where in the world EXCEPT North America
WA?

My son lives in Perth
There are two or three Australian Ranger forums
Also a South African Ranger forum, in English

The fact that the problem started only after the fill-up is suspect.
If you have a few containers, I would siphon out as much as you can, then refill from a different station. Then just add a little bit of the fuel to the new tank each time you fill up. You won't waste the fuel this way, and you shouldn't have problems diluting a few liters in a 30+ litre tank
If there is water contamination, you might want to consider replacing your fuel filter while you are at it. If debris or water gets into that, it can cause all kinds of intermittent issues that will probably bother you just as much as they would bother me LOL
