Um thats next to impossible. Your gas gets pumped from the tank through the lines and to the injectors. There is at no point any contact to any areas, which would allow it to mix with oil. Unless you have some seriously bad piston rings in one or more of your cylinders, which allow so much blow-by that the mist that is sprayed by the injector(s) goes past the piston rings and into the crank case, but that would mean that your spark plug(s) where not firing and the gas was never being ignited. If your piston rings were bad in one or more cylinders you would also have no compression in that paticular cylinder and your truck would be missing like mad, which would be very noticable on a six cylinder. It's pretty hard for all of your piston rings on one or more of your piston's to go out instanteously at the same time while driving as well if it broke down on the road.
Unless of course for some reason you accidently filled your truck up with 110 octane fuel in which case that stuff has a very strong and distinct smell to it, which does make your oil smell like it. However that doesn't typically happen unless your run that fuel consistantly. My small block 350 smelled like that when I tore it down for a rebuild.

well i was driving and noticed it was driving funny, I pulled over and noticed that oil was coming out the valve cover more than normal. I knew that it had a little leak through it but the oil that was coming out was cleaning off the oil on the engine. There is no smoke and it runs fine. I drained the oil and put about a quart shy of oil back in there and drove it 75 miles which took 3/4 tank of gas and took it to a mechanic. I checked the oil and its over full and there's the gas. Dont that beat all.

Welcome . One or two spark plugs not firing?

But doesn't this sound exactly like what you are experiencing?

Lots of gas in oil, bad running engine.

i know enough that its running off all cylinders. the only thing that the mechanic found was a leaky injector. Other than that he couldnt find anything. I would hope that he did a compression test and the plugs are new.

So, there's your smoking gun. Leaky injector.
Have you posted at Ford-Trucks yet?
