<VV> gas in oil (humor)

[cfm]

sorry mike, I may not be able to answer your questions on fuel and oil.
but if you raise the back of the car higher than the front and oil gets into your gas tank, well then, there in lies a real problem.... lol...
I am sure some of our experienced on-lookers will be adding some more ardent advice.
umm.. seriously though, change the oil and filter now at any rate, but I am sure you already know that.....

 Car sat for about 4 weeks on the ramp to the garage, nose up hill. Today I
started some routine maint on it and when It it started, it it pumped oil/gas
out the breather and the usual places. The dip stick says I have about 6 quarts
of  "oil".

 I know it gravity flowed from a full fuel tank into the fuel pump and on its
merry way into the oil pan. What I want to know should I change the fuel pump?
 Did this indicate that a part of the fuel pump failed and allowed the fuel
from the tank to gravity through it and flow into the engine? Should the fuel
pump have stopped the gravity fuel flow past it? First time this kind of
problem for me in 40+ years of Corvair ownership.

 I raised the back of the car and no more fuel flow to the pump, and will
drain engine / filter tomorrow.

 Should I replace the fuel pump??????????
