Default Gas in oil

I keep finding gas in my oil, I have a walbro 255 fuel pump with an AFPR and 36lb injectors. Fuel pressure reading at rail with key forward goes up to 55 then rapidly drops to zero. As I’m almost positive the aftermarket pump doesn’t have a check valve this should be a normal condition to my knowledge. I’m suspecting a possibility of a stuck open injector/injectors. Any thoughts?

Loosen rail but leave injectors attached to rail, lift up off intake enough to see the bottom of the injectors. Watch when you key on to see if any are leaking.

I would say the possibility of a stuck injector is high given what youve said lol.

Ebay has deals on injector servicing. I used a place in Risingsun, Ohio called injectorexperts, they are not too far from Michigan.

The walbro 255 should have a check valve

I would suspect an injector

Like said above pull rail and turn key on and watch the injectors

Have a fire extinguisher handy just in case. Playing with fuel is always risky and I did have a fire start one time doing this exact check. Still not sure what ignited it but I had an extinguisher right there and all was good.

Update: It was an injector, swapped out for trick flow injectors and fixed the issue. Thanks for the replies.
