How can I tell if gas is going into my crankcase?
How can I tell if gas is going into my crankcase?
To check the pump, pull the impulse line from the pump to the FRONT of the carb off and see if its wet/has fuel in it. If so, the pump needs replaced.
What causes oil to mix with gas in crankcase?
Fuel dilution in oil is a condition caused by excess, unburned fuel mixing with engine oil in an engine crankcase. Hydrocarbon-based fuel, usually with a lower vapor pressure than the lubricant, has a thinning effect, lowering the oil viscosity. Will oil in gas harm engine? TOM: Yes, it’s fine to use it in your car.
Why is gas going into my crankcase / bad petcock?
But if the petcock is good and turned off when parked as it should be that shouldn’t happen. Any leaking through or around the needle valve or seat should just run out on the ground through the overflow if its not blocked.
What causes crankcase dilution in an internal combustion engine?
Crankcase dilution is a phenomenon of internal combustion engines in which unburned diesel or gasoline accumulates in the crankcase. Excessively rich fuel mixture or incomplete combustion allows a certain amount of fuel to pass down between the pistons and cylinder walls and dilute the engine oil.
