Hi Topdog27,

Sorry to learn of your misfortune with gas in the oil.

Any fixes:- The key is determine where or how the fuel is getting into the crankcase, if you have fuel injectors then clearly one or more of the injectors are shot and just pumping fuel into the engine. If its a carburettor then the float system is shot and just leaking fuel into the engine.

Is the motor gone/shot:- Difficult to answer this one a bit like how long is a piece of string. Predominantly the answer depends on how long the motor has been running for in this state i.e. with petrol diluting the lubrication system with catastrophic damage to all engine bearing surfaces and cylinder walls. If its been like this for a long time the damage will be catastrophic requiring a new engine. If you have literally just caught it and the engine has not been running for a long time in this state then it can be rescued. Drain the engine oil, change the oil filter, fit a new filter and fresh oil, flush the engine with an engine flush, change the oil and the filter again after the flush. Run the engine with new oil and filter and check for white smoke from the exhaust, if there is white smoke oil is passing the piston rings and burning in the combustion chamber, means the engine is scrap. If there is no white smoke then you have managed to rescue your motor. If this is the case well done but keep a check on engine oil consumption.
