This is an update to a post I made about 6 months ago regarding finding fuel in my oil.  After replacing the high pressure fuel pump, I ran it through the summer and changed oil in October.

This fuel test came back with 4% fuel in the oil.

Dealership is found there are leaking injectors and will be replacing them all as they are not sure which one it is because it is a slight one (fuel pump would always prime when I open the door in the morning),  Parts on order and will get it back at the end of the week.

They said that this could also cause the slight stumble at idle while sitting at the light (this was brought to them when new and got the "couldn't duplicate customer's concern - all is well" line.

We're you throwing any codes? Negative values in long term fuel tables? I have a Hennessey Performance Goliath 650 the oil smells like gasoline. Could be normal for forced Induction but still worried about my engine.

No codes.  Other than a slight stumble at idle, no other symptoms.

I can smell gas in my oil but it runs perfect and no rise in oil on my dipstick.

 

Two problems with gas in oil that take a while to show. 

 

1.) Even 3 or 4% by GC detection WILL lower the viscosity one SAE grade and accelerates wear. Mainly bore/ring wear but can also attack cam/roller interface. 

 

2.) Gas in oil leaves varnish behind in the hottest parts of the motor. Biggest issue seen first is ring packs sticking. Second is slows heat transfer through the head of the piston. Increases tendency to 'knock'. 

 

Even if you manage to stop the leak and solve out the varnish the damage it caused remains for the life of the motor. 

 

And yes, it will run perfect...until it doesn't.

Just curious as to what a used oil analysis would look like on your beast.  Ever think of getting a sample to send in?  I could run it and let you know how well things are inside.

Well, got it back and it is running SMOOTH for the first time since I got it.  Early on I brought up the slight stumble to the dealer but was told all was ok.  Nope, it was not.

Attached is the used oil analysis that brought the fuel in oil to light.

Blackstone saved me some big money.  My Vette had titanium in the oil - punted it while I could sell it for a profit.

This test.  Is this pre injector replacement or post injector replacement?

This was pre-high pressure fuel pump around Memorial Day and pre-injector replacement this week.  Will have to get it checked after some miles to see if it really is fixed.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
