Gas in oil

[CagedCanary]

Neglected to turn the gas petcock off on my 51 8N and filled my crankcase/oil pan full of gas. What"s the best recourse, drain the oil pan fill with fresh oil run engine for a little and redrain and fill with fresh oil again? Any help will be appreciated

Why don't you just pull the drain plug and let it drain for a couple of hours? No sense in wasting extra oil. That is what I would do.

#1 turn the gas off. Then #2 drain the oil out and maybe let it sit over night that way so as to make sure 99% of the gas is out. Then refill with oil and also pull all the plugs and put some ATF say a tablespoon full in each cylinder so as to not have a dry start then run it and from now on make sure you shut the gas off

Yea, tip # 9 gotcha.

Just like Old said; drain, let it drip overnight & most importantly, put some oil or ATF in each cylinder in case the gas washed the cylinder walls and/or rings.

efore draining gasoline a written safety plan is required or you will be reprimanded by safety police.
