oil test

[whalebus]

It seems my oil get real runny quick so I was wondering if there is a easy way to see if I have fuel in my oil? I am worried about the lift pump leaking into the engine

Yes there is. BlackStone is a commonly used oil lab in Indiana. There are others. Call them or someone else if you find a lab closer........ and get a test kit. Send them a sample and they will let you know what's in the oil.

Oil level should increase over time unless You have a leaky lp and burn oil at the same time.

You can buy analysis kits at any truck repair facility, and Napa used to carry them. I just sent a sample of my engine oil off.

Thanks guys. I will look into that. I cant smell any fuel but like I said ,Its awfully thin looking to me.

If there is fuel in the oil you may have a bad lift pump OEM style or a scored cylinder and piston.
An oil analysis will find the source.

I had the same issue some time back, Oil level kept rising over a few months, sent out a UOA it came back 7% fuel contaminated, so I pulled the engine and I had a scored cylinder when I tore it down.
