V6-S dumping raw fuel

What a fascinating thread! Great entertainment but lacking in meaningful information. Came late to the party and I certainly don't want it all to kick off again. Forgive me if I've missed it, but no one has picked up the fact that he's selling the car but there are no photos, citing discretion/secrecy as the reason. It's easy to take photos of parts of the car without it being identifiable. Hmmm.
I reckon there are outside factors at play here: He's been caught cheating and his wife has poured neat petrol into the tailpipe in an attempt to wreck the car, or as a minimum, get him all wound up on a forum. I bet all his ties are cut in half too.

Sorry to necropost an old thread as my first post but figured it was better to post in a relevant thread than start a new one.
My 2015 F-Type Base 47k is doing the same thing as OP's. Misfire, Hard start, Fuel dumping out of the exhaust on start. I haven't let the car run long enough to see if it stops dumping fuel. Replaced the spark plugs to be safe but still doing it so its going into the dealer. Happened out of nowhere.
Codes are P0267, P0300, P0302, P0303, P1315, and U0001
I'm almost positive its the injectors now. I might unplug some injectors before I take it in and see if the problem gets better or worse.
I do want to clarify are the cylinders number 1,2,3 pass side and 4,5,6 driver side or 1,3,5 pass, 2,4,6 driver?
Again sorry for the necro, most forums I'm on prefer this to a new thread.

was tinkering a bit more and collected some of the runoff from the exhaust. Now I’m even more confused than before. Starting to think it’s just a simple (not easy) blown head gasket, but I’ve never had an issue with smelling fuel so strongly. Either way it’s going to the dealer tomorrow. Probably be a few weeks before they get too it unfortunately. At least it didn’t spin a bearing like my 30k mike M235i did just recently.

Hey guys, so the now missing OP explained that his wife had the car idling for awhile. Got me thinking about my V6 S. If it's been sitting in the garage for a couple weeks, I'm old school and like to let my car "warm up" a bit before driving. I suppose the options are 5 min, 10 min, wait until engine temp gets to x, or really no need to wait at all?
Not sure I need to do this, especially if it's not frigid outside, but welcome any thoughts about how long to wait before hitting the road, especially after a couple weeks or more of downtime.
Thanks in advance!

WOW
I read to about the comments of 4-13 and got exhausted and quit so maybe this came up somewhere.
Many years ago I had a Corvette that had some body damage. I took to a friends body shop. It was winter and he worked on the car occasionally as a fill in project for his guys for a few months and gave me a special repair price. I was in no hurry.
After I got the car back I did an oil change. When I drained the oil I got about a big surprise. About 2 gallons or more of real thin oil that smelled like gas. I was driving the car after it came out of the shop a few days also.
The first thing I did was thank my guardian angel I didn't blow up with the car and then tried to figure out what happened.
The only thing we could think of is that the body shop would move the car out of the garage during the days they did not work on it and then drive it back in the shop at the end of the day. This was done often and un burned gas collected in the engine finding its way to the oil pan in this case.
I realize my experience is in many ways different than this situation. But my only point is weird stuff happens and maybe something did happen.

I'll bet it had a big carburetor to. They threw a lot of gas in that intake. A lot of the gas gets past the rings unburned. That's why when you start a carburetor car drive it till it gets hot to get rid of that fuel. Fuel injectors changed all that. Very little fuel wasted.

Short, cold-engine runs can result in gasoline in the crankcase. Luckily, the 7qt + capacity of the Jag engines reduces the possibility of this characteristic causing damage, if the oil becomes excessively diluted.

That's true, but realize that cold running requires more fuel so the ECU richens the mixture. Add to that: the clearances in the engine are often wider until the metal heats up. So, more unburned fuel can get past the piston rings and into the sump.
