[quote I'm not sure I know how it would blow up the crankcase..... There is no ignition source in the crankcase....


You evidently have not been around much to not have seen the results of even having a large crankcase explosion from fumes gathered in the crankcase from just having a flooded engine.
A little of those gases that you are using to find the leak leak by the rings into a firing cylinder won't explode??? Well tell that to the guys that have had ballooned oil pans from nothing more than gas fumes built up from a flooded engine that fuel had leaked past the rings on. Oh well do as you please - but hope that you have good insurance.
