    Default Fuel in my 18R-C Sump 7.5 litres actually

    Hey guys just got my new RA23 home (will post some photos in the coming weeks in the rides section) and found when I stared the engine thin oil starting coming out of the front and rear main seals and the oil light came on. I switch the engine off straight away. I checked the oil and it was very thin and clear. I drain the sump and to my surprise 12 litres!!! of oil and petrol came out. How is that much petrol getting into the sump???

    I thought at first it was the rings but 7.5 litres (4.5 of litres oil) pass the rings!!!! I was reading around and saw comments of the emission control could be doing that??

    Any ideas?

    maybe there is a split in the fuel pump diaphragm allowing it to drop straight into the engine. Easy enough to pull it off and have a look. this is what killed my 18rc. pretty much the only place that fuel can get into the sump on the 18rc. Also probably doesn't need to be said but dont run it until you have some fresh oil in there as nothing will be lubricated very well.
