Fuel filled the engine oil pan!!!

[1badplr]

Has anyone had their oil pan fill up with diesel? My friend's 03 did it today and he took it to the dealer with 60,000+ miles on it and they want him to sign a waiver stating that they have to take off the head and inspect the motor. If they find that this was caused under warranty they will fix it, if they find that it was caused by something else then the waiver states the owner has to pay for the labor and parts. Does this seem right?

If the engine malfuncitoned then they buy it. If he modded it. He is his own warranty station. Sounds normal just now they have a waiver to go along with it. Sounds like an injector stuck open. Its happend before and will happen again.

Assuming the truck is unmodified, I'd never sign the waver. It makes it too easy for them to leave you with the bill. I paid $2000 for a 100,000 miles exetended service plan. I would be totall insulted if they asked me to sign the waver. Short of putting the nossel from the #2 pump into the oil fill hole, I cannot think of anything a person could do to fill up the crankcase with fuel.

I wouldn't sign that waiver if the truck was stock either. I would tell them something I can't say here.



If the truck was modded I have to agree with everyone else in that he is his own warranty station.

why should he be his own wrrnty station. as ken said the only way the owner be at fault is if he opened the 710 cap and filled it full of fuel. no mods would make crankcase fill with fuel even if he had changed injectors, only the tips are changed and they dont go bad and leak fuel. the body and electrical garbage is stock bosch and it is dc's responsability to warranty that if they were the cause of the problem

"Only the tips" were changed on my injectors in my '03 555 as well. Filled my crank case with fuel 3 or 4 times, I lost count. Careful who you get to do you injectors. I wouldn't use anyone in Utah named Robert or Brett

ouch,,,,,,,,so it was the tips installed properly that was the cause of this. or did the tips split and let too much fuel.



did this happen soon after the install or take a while to show up.



usually if it happens, isnt it a problem with the injectr sticking open instead of a tip problem. the ones ive heard of b4 were all with stock inj



sorry to hear u prob with this chris

The first two times were improper install, I think the injector was leaking were the fuel line threads in. Third time a nozzle cracked with a hairline and I thought I broke a connecting rod. Tons of white smoke, on the highway, had to pull over and get towed.
