Default errrr...so NEVER add fuel additives when you are sick..

i called in sick today. i feel like crap.

so i went to go buy some aspirin and coffee at the little corner shop...dunno what possessed me to buy fuel injection cleaner as well.....

so i get to the TT, and i opened the hood and put the fuel additive in the OIL instead!!! it's supposed to go into the gas tank. DOH!

so now i have a product which claims to have "jet fuel" in the oil.....i was scared to start the car earlier, thinking it might just blow! but i drove it round for the last 20 minutes and it feels alright....actually it's running bloody good!

you think any harm would come of this?

LTM.

Default Just add a quart of oil to the gas tank......

and they should cancel out.

Actually, the fuel additive will reduce the viscosity of the oil considerably and allow the engine parts to move more freely (hence the "actually it's running bloody good! comment) until something seizes up.

Default Probably won't hurt anything...>>

Kinda like adding a can of Marel Mystery oil or something. Should lube up those valve stems!
Plan on your next oil change sooner rather than later though..

Default yeah....but>>>

it was funny as the smell of coolant pouring out the over flow is what it took for me to realize what was going on...In the meantime, almost a gallon went into the cooling system...guess i should have mentioned all that first! ;-P
