Added 2 quarts and it didn't show on the stick. Added another quart and still didn't register. That's when I noticed the smell of gas on the stick. Pulled the drain plug and dumped 6 quarts of oil and probably a gallon of gas. A mechanic told me he saw a motor with the pan blown off because of fuel in the pan had ignited. Pull the pumps and check the diaphragms, normally not repairable.

Hope that does it.
