What happens if you pour oil in a brand new empty power washer gas tank?

Never pour oil in power washer gas tank. Putting oil in the gas tank of a power washer can cause serious damage to the engine. Oil is not a fuel and cannot be burned by the engine, so it will simply sit in the gas tank and clog up the fuel system. This can cause the engine to run poorly or even stop running altogether. In addition, oil can damage the seals and gaskets in the fuel system, leading to leaks.

If you accidentally put oil in your power washer gas tank, you should drain the tank and refill it with fresh gas. You may also need to clean the fuel system to remove any residual oil.

Here are the steps to take if you accidentally put oil in your power washer gas tank:

1. Turn off the power washer and disconnect it from the power source.

2. Locate the gas tank and remove the gas cap.

3. Drain the gas tank completely.

4. Refill the gas tank with fresh gas.

5. Start the power washer and let it run for a few minutes to clear the fuel system.

6. If the power washer still does not run properly, you may need to clean the fuel system.

To clean the fuel system, you will need to remove the carburetor, fuel lines, and fuel filter. You can then clean these parts with carburetor cleaner and reinstall them.

Once you have cleaned the fuel system, the power washer should run properly again.
