RE: [T3] crankcase full of gas, i got yer gas and oil


Hey everyone,
Is this possible in a FI car even without jacking up the front?  I did a
tune up on my car and now it will not start.  I keep adjusting and then
turning it over (many many times) to no avail.  When I pull the dip stick to
check the oil it seems very thin (cold) and smells of gas.  I heard the
smell test doesn't work, but was curious if this could be the problem.
After letting it sit overnight, I was able to start it and there were plums
of bluish white exhaust, but then I let it, accidently, stall and it will
not start again.  I have spark and gas and it ran before the tune up.  I was
thinking maybe I tried too many times to start it flooding the darn thing, I
depleted the battery more than once. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Jason T. Smith

I just had the same proble with my carbed 73 square, I left the front
jacked up for about 3 days while I was working on it.  then I checked my
oil today before I started it and it was ful of gasoline.  is there a
valve that I can get to stop this??
