We have a boat equipped by two Mercruiser 5.0 MPI engines. Both have the same problem: incoming fuel onto oil. After a short time oil level rise due to fuel incoming. Fuel pressure in the rail is normal.
Computer diagnostics: all OK! Injectors have been checked and cleaned. We have no idea what to do the next. Help, please! Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!
 
Hi
Off the top of my head....
Mechanical pump passing past engine driven seal ?
Have you checked there compression ? Does she perform well ? Perhaps in burnt fuel passing down past piston rings at idle ?
Good luck ?
 
Excuse spelling ! Bloody IPhone and fat fingers....should be "unburnt" and "Their"...haha.
Do you spend a lot of time with the engines idling ? Perhaps charging batteries at the mooring ? This can cause the above problem.
 
Just another thought...do the electric fuel pumps (when you turn ignition on) cut out after a few seconds, as they should, or do they cut in and out ?
 
Thank you very much for your attention, dear friends!
1. We have no mechanical fuel pump at all.
2. Electrical one is working properly: starts and cut out in time. Fuel pressure is normal.
3. We have not used engines idle for a long time, and do not need to charge batteries, the boat is connecting to shore.
Have you any more ideas?
I'll try to ask Tom Parker too, of course
 
The only way fuel will get in to the oil is from the injectors past the piston rings. Over fueling, cold enrichment not going off? That would be a faulty temperature sender I would think, worth checking.
