[QUOTE="jeepjoe43, post: 428892, member: 19255"] Hi Patrick, This smacks of human error, I'm not aware of anything mechanically that would do this, First question, has the vehicle been driven or loaned out, or otherwise out of your control? Does someone else know where the keys are? Like Kids or Grand-kids, who may have snuck it out? Does it smoke when it runs? I'm an old small engine mechanic and I have seen anti-freeze in the gas tanks of lawnmowers. This has happens when dad tells his boy "Gas is in the plastic can". The kid doesn't know what can... Just saying this just doesn't sound like it's the Jeeps fault. I could be wrong... Reasoning it out, I just can't find any other reason for it. Your running problems sound more like water than oil. Could also be a broken tank, though I suspect you would halve found that the first go-around. I can only postulate with the information I have, and my own experiences. [/QUOTE]
