My mailbox was recently graced by a missive from Keith Byrd :

Petrol (gazoline) in the oil would not cause any harm; in fact during the war
it was the standard woy in the German Army to lighten the oil in engines used
in winter conditions on the eastern front.
Only problem could be, if you tried to run the engine at normal temperatures,
that the oil/petrol mixture is not thick enough to lubricate; also if run it
will get too hot, and may cause a fire.
But the mixing, in a colf engine, of petrol to the oil wont damage it.
Cheers,
Ron.
