Actually, it sounds like he probably filled the mower with water, took a sip of oil, and then huffed the gas.

OT: My son accidently put gas in the oil tank the other day in the lawn mower, I think I dumped all of it out, but the lawn mower still won't start on a full tank of gas. Does anyne know what I can do, or is the lawn mower a goner?

I know as much about lawn mowers as I do about alien spacecraft, but I would think you would be able to flush it out... I dunno.

Did you put oil back into the tank? ;-)

OT too: Why didn't I ever think of doing that as a kid to get out of mowing?

Shouldn't affect it if you are sure you drained all the gas. A small amount of gas left in would at worst thin your oil.
