oil smells of fuel.

Hi all just going to do a oil change and the oil smells a bit of fuel maybe mixed in what's the cause of this car runs fine apart from not boosting over .4

[russ78]

possibly running rich or worn rings

[Rock-Kick-Ass]

yup mines the same

[1990timeismoney]

I think it could be running rich saw it peak at 10.2 on full boost the other day running a blitz ecu on td04

[russ78]

if you have a RRFPR it will give you some level of mechanical adjustment to correct the fuel pressure if not look into getting one asap

could also try compression test to rule out rings.....

mines was the same mate last week, been to a tuning place and had a health check done because my oil was strong petrol and it came back healthy 150 psi across all 4 smoke test and leak down test. everything seems fine, so unless your getting smoke n stuff i wouldnt worry about it

Cheers for the advice guys will get a check done.

I got a rrfpr fitted but set to standard pressure.will it be over fueling because it can't boost more than .4

No the fuel map is based on pressure load so the ecu only adds fuel as the boost goes up.

Mine the same as this oil has a very strong smell of petrol, pretty sure it's over fueling though, had it dyno'd Saturday and fuel/air was high at low revs but okay at high revs

by the way guys i put up a post about this not that long ago, advised it was fine etc etc and now my engine has been stripped as ive lost compression in 3 cylinders.

compresison came back fine when tested before hand etc but it was obviously a problem for mine.
