Oil in Gas tank

[perri53556]

My daughters X dumped old oil into her gas tank and she drove it (1/2 mile) and it stalled out. I had it towed to my house, what should i do? Do I need to replace fuel filter, injectors, remove gas tank?

Nice person... Did you get the oil out?

After removing rear seat, and fuel pump, i was able to siphon out most of the gas from this location. I used a sponge to get what I could not siphon. (There is a very sharp ridge inside the top of the tank that I was able to slice my wrist requiring stitches). I added 2 gallons of clean gas slowly sponging it out as it was put in, to clean out the tank. I pulled and cleaned injectors and then blew out the lines from the fuel pump to the injectors, changed plugs. I have not tried starting it yet as I think I need to add more gas and blow the lines again. In a gallon container there was about a 1/2" of oil on top and a white substance on the bottom which is most likely sugar.

That's a lot of work. I'm sorry that people like that exist.

Did you call the police? You may be able to sue for damages.
