How do I get gas out of the oil tank.
The other day l was mowing the lawn with my push mower and l ran out of
gas.l went to fill up the tank and l accidentally poured the gas into the
oil tank and filled it up before l noticed.Please Help!!
I agree with Vince. Once the oil is drained leave the drain
plug and the filler cap open for A day..then refill..If not the gas fumes
in the crank case can and will cuase an internal explosion if the fumes are
great enough.
junk either the gas tank or the oil tank otherwise the
whole mower else the lawn
Just leak the pipe under the tank into a bottle
1. Drain the gas out of the oil tank
2. Let stand over night with the plugs open to allow the gas remains to
evaporate (allow in sun if possible)
3. Run a bit of oil through and then drain that out.
4. Fill up with oil per instructions and good to go.
I would add that you can add a little more oil and drain that
after you drain it the first time. Kind of like a ''rinse''.

Just drain the oil tank. There is sometimes a drain plug on
the underside of the mower. I would refill with oil and run it a few
minuites and then drain and refill again just to make sure you get all the
gas out of the oil.
Just drain and refill the oil. Follow the instructions in your
manual for changing the oil.
