Re: Symptoms of petrol in engine oil ?
Just for general info on the subject.
It was common practice to dilute piston aero engine oil with petrol, in order to reduce the viscosity and assist the starter motor at low temperature start up. The petrol evaporated and was vented from the crankcase quite quickly during the warm up.
