You mean fuel isn't supposed to drizzle into the cylinder as opposed to mist?

Glad it sort of worked out for the best, Lee. Can't wait to see whaty ou do with it.

That's how the whole explosion started in the first place. Damn drizzling fuel.

it could also be a faulty fuel pressure regulator, instead of the injectors.
if the diaphram inside the regulator splits, it will send fuel into the manifold through the vacuum line. make certain its not your regulator befor buying new injectors...

and if the oil is fuel contaminated, change it.... dont put your engine at risk by driving it like that. i have a friend who can vouch for the carnage that driving with fuel contaminated oil can cause....
