I have a 2002 ford focus and my ex put motor oil in my gas tank not sure how much and how long ago what to do?

If he only put a quart of oil in it won't hurt a bit as long as there is at least 10 gallons of gasoline in the tank. It will probably smoke quite a bit until it is burned out but at the same time will probably do some cleaning while running. As long as it is running ok now, don't worry about it but if if won't start have it checked by a mechanic.I have a 2002 ford focus and my ex put motor oil in my gas tank not sure how much and how long ago what to do?
It really depends on how much he/she put in the tank. Will the car run? If so, drive it and continue to periodically add gasoline until it quits smoking. Oil is heavier than gasoline, so it wont sink to the bottom of the tank where the fuel pick up is. If it will not start you may have to remove and drain the tank. Otherwise I don't think the oil will bother the injectors as it it burned off.I have a 2002 ford focus and my ex put motor oil in my gas tank not sure how much and how long ago what to do?
why and how do you know - what to do if ex did. fill with high test.it will burn through but keep using high test and put some smog pass in it or at least fuel cleaner injector cleaner.the catalytic converter can become clogged or the o2 sensor.while it wont harm them it will hamper operation of the engine.you may not even notice.but the computer will and adjust for it.
If it was just motor oil, fill the tank and drive it until that tank is almost empty before refilling..that will dilute any oil in the system and get it all out... It may or may not smoke a little while this is happening...but it won't hurt anything...
1. If your car runs ok, then it didn't hurt it.


2. If it bugs you, pour a whole bottle of fuel injection system cleaner into the fuel tank and then fill the fuel tank. This will help to clean out any residue.
well if the tank is low on fuel fill it up and you should be fine or have the tank drained.
wouldnt hurt a thing might make it smoke some but wouldnt do any damage maybe a tank of fuel or so it would be gone
dont worry about it...
