I THINK THIS TRUCK HAS A MECHNICAL FUEL PUMP LOCATED ON THE ENGINE. IF THE FUEL PUMP IS GOING BAD IT WILL ALLOW FUEL TO ENTER THE OIL .FUEL IN THE OIL CAN BE VERY BAD AS IT NOT ONLY THINS THE OIL BUT THERE IS A DANGER OF THE FUEL FUMES IN THE OIL EXPLODING. DO NOT WAIT TO HAVE THIS CHECKED

Your oil may be breaking down,try a really good oil change with a fram oil filter,recommend that you use castrol 30 weight oil in winter and 40 weight in summer,also add lucas oil treatment in with the oil change,it gives great top of motor lubrication,not like regular oil.fram filters are great too,they won't fold under pressure like a cheap one would.when you refine oil,it turns into gas.if you've been using a quick oil change place,stop. find a mechanic that can change your oil. you go to parts store,purchase an oil change kit with 30 weight castrol oil,tell them you want to add lucas oil treatment in on the oil change and have them look up your engine to see how many quarts of oil it takes,make sure they know that you want to add the lucas in on the oil change so you don't overfill the oil.after you've purchased the oil change kit,then go to your mechanic with your supplies and have them change your oil.after you've done this once,you'll do it all the time.quick oil change places buy their oil in bulk and as cheap as possible,then charge you for quality products.they break down quicklyand add very little lubrication to your engine.thank you for choosing fixya.com

Why is a very strong gas smell coming from my tailpipe?

White smoke is water vapor and in this cold climate it is normal. Strong gas smell is not normal although you may smell some while engine is warming up. Bad cat converter can produce smells, but usually more like rotten eggs. If engine is running rough and seems rich, check coolant temp sensor. Bad converter can cause stalling too. Otherwise, idle speed is controlled by idle air contol motor which can get dirty and stick. Any codes set?

Gas smell

your brand new 1972 VW beetle may have as simple hole in the fuel line..when the car is not running you will not see any gas leaks becuase there is no call for gas to be fed to the motor.

have someone, or yourself crawl under the vehicle and look fort a small dripping or small stream of fuel.....REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!...gas is HIGHLY explosive and flammable...no smoking while checking/working on the rpoblem...and fuel's smell comes from Naptha, a chemical added to oil to make gasoline, it is a very strong ordor..a small amount can smell like a gallon.
hope this helps you
