Gas Oder in the engine oil...very bad. DO NOT START THE ENGINE. BIG $$$$$ repairs could result. Find the Fuel Pressure Regulator. It is usually a round device with a rubber hose attached. Pull off the rubber hose and smell the hose and the nipple it is attached to. If you smell or see gasoline...you have a bad FPR. Change the oil and Filter before a restart. You might have to replace the Spark Plugs if they are fouled with gasoline. Get back with results.

Haven't had time yet. But I was wondering as long as it has not been started since it has died that changing the oil and FPR it should be fine . Not sure if I would want to do it if bigger more expensive problems would be an issue. I would like your thoughts and your opinion if it wouldn't be to much trouble.

I understand your concern about the fost of repairs. Change the oil and filter is a start. Beyond that ....well....depends on how you want to proceed. DIY....or...get an expert to do the repaires.
