my garage smells like gasoline... a lot... i have an oil spot on the floor and i know i need to change my fuel pump, but can gas mix in with the oil?? i am wondering if the spot on the floor is oil with gas in it... i just changed my fuel filter/ spark plugs/ dist cap is it possible that some how the gas mixed in with the oil is that not even possible??Can gas mix in with your oil?
Don't listen to the last bozo! The second guy is right. That is how you get gas in the oil, but it is very bad for you car. Extreemly detrimental... You see, oil lubricates your engine's parts and gasoline doesn't. In my experience with my cars I have had the fuel get past the rings, considerable power loss, and fouled spark plugs, and black smoke out of the back. Smell the fluid on the ground. May sound stupid but my nose hasn't failed me yet. 2nd check to see where the leak or leaks are coming from, sometimes you can have an oil leak dripping from your oil pan and a fuel leak from a fuel line that is dripping onto your drip pan and running down your pan and mixing on the ground with the oil causing you to think that you just have an oil leak or gas in your oil when really you have two leaks ending up together on the ground. Always inspect where they are coming from first. an easy an effective way to do this is to clean the area under your car and the ground where the leak is. place a rag where the fluid gathers. and when you see the drops fall look under you car to find wher it is comming from. and look at the colors, and then smeel them too.
Good Luck and Merry Christmas!Can gas mix in with your oil?
gas in the oil is possible, but usually in only 2 conditions, first being worn and cracked intake manifold gaskets where the fuel can enter directly in to the crank case ventilation area then in to the oil , or the 2nd being extremely worn piston rings where the fuel during the compression stroke slips past the rings and going directly in to the oil, but you would have a very noticeable power loss as well as a very smokey car.
good luck mrgreg1Can gas mix in with your oil?
IDK...LOL thats a good question. My friends car wouldn't start one day and we were both stranded on the freeway, then his crackhead stepfather came, raised the hood poured a little gas where the oil was suppose to be and *presto* you wouldn't believe the car started right up after we were trying are best to start it. So I don't know thats a good question.Can gas mix in with your oil?
it is possible, but i doubt that the source of the smell is that. there are a few areas in that car that will give you an area prone to leaks, and many of them are hard to locate. even a loose gas cap will create that smell.Can gas mix in with your oil?
gas and oil are the same thing they are both forms of refined petroleum, basically like ice and water. So yes they can mix and that is no big deal.
