i hydrolocked my motor in aug 05.
a gas station had put a diesel mix in my fuel, causing the injectors to stick wide open.
I was spraying raw fuel out my tailpipes, it was that bad.
I replaced #3 injector which i found was wide open constant at key on, then tried starting it, i had missed #1 which had already filled the cylinder.
With the whole crankcase filled with fumes and fuel from washing out the cylinders and all, when it went, it blew out the oil pan and a section of the block...
..could never prove it was the stations fault, but i got my extended warranty to cover it

hopefully you get some answers and it works out in ur favor

BTW my car got back on the road Arpil 2007, and has yet to be tuned because i never trusted the big shops. but i be having it done in sept finally.
