If it's making the noise at idle, it's probably not the gas. Check stuff like valve lash, or maybe it's just the injectors making their normal clicking noise.

Sounds like detonation... has your timing been advanced?

a few things can happen. mainly it could be the valves knocking because of the low octaine. if ur dist is advanced too much, itll do that.
