[QUOTE="JustAwrench, post: 1164, member: 178"] Yeah-what Taz said. I may have been premature about the warning of filling the crank with fuel. If the fuel pump is isolated from the crankcase, as may be with the belt-driven Peugot(going on momory here) in which case you would have an external fuel leak. That is, if the fuel was leaking at all. Some failures will leak one way(drawing air)but not the other(leaking fuel.) And, filling the crankcase with fuel will water down the oil, which will trash the bearings, but the more immediate and physical danger is once you get to a certain level of fuel/oil(mostly fuel) mix in your crankcase, it comes over the top of the pistons and then your engine runs away. Now after reading what you said I'm not sure if the Peugot will do this , but I wouldn't chance it. This probably dosen't help, but Bobcat has a Kubota conversion kit for the contemptable peugot 751, which turns it into a decent machine, IMO. Sorry for your troubles, Bob. [/QUOTE]
