My mate just phoned me - he accidently picked up a jerry can with oil in it (thinking it was petrol) and put about 1 litre in his almost empty tank!
He wants a sensible answer off me, but I honestly think even with 40 litres of petrol he will still be pumping smoke out.
Engine damage?

The engine will work fine with diluted engine oil in it. It will smoke a lot though.
