RE: Guys, help me out - oil pan full of seawater!

I too have opearated diesel equipment all my life. Ignore your neighbor and go by the book regarding oil additives - kerosene is not one of them for normal use. Wet engines, as discussed, require special care to get them clean and dewatered. It sounds like*you are on the right track but I'd double check the geometry of your exhaust elbow and piping to minimize future untold happenings
