Subject: Re: [MV] M151A2 fuel in crankcase
> My M715 has the 230 tornado engine and mechanical fuel pump, and I
get a little bit of gas in the oil. An old-timer told me that all
carburated engines get some gas in the oil, especially at idle,
because a carb can't deliver a precise amount of gas/air like
injection does. My truck spends most of it's time idleing, and I know
it's time to change oil when the rear seal starts leaking.
I've had this problem due to a mad mechanical fuel pump. Fuel leaks
through diaphragm into the crankcase.
