[Shotimes] Oil in the gas tank

[Paul L Fisher]

How full is the tank? If it is empty, fill it up and just run it. Get a
restraining order and a police report. After the tank has been burned
through, change the fuel filter and send the dick a bill.

Subject: [Shotimes] Oil in the gas tank

My friends ex-husband said he poured a quart of oil into her gas tank.
Maybe he's just trying to scare her or maybe he really did do it.  How can
we tell?  Will there be lots of smoke coming out of the tailpipe?  Will the
engine run rough?  Will there be any damaging effects?  Will the oil
ruin/clog the fuel injectors?  Will it foul the spark plugs?  Will it even
get that far or will it get caught in the fuell filter and possibly clog
that up?

If we do see evidence of the oil contamination (smoke from tailpipe, for
instance) is it OK to continue to run the engine or should the tank be
dropped to drain the gas/oil?
