What would happen to a saw if you put gas in the bar chain oil resevoir and bar chain oil in the gas resevoir and tried to run the saw?

remember that no one has successfully thrown a chainsaw THROUGH a tree YET.

I have seen that happen before, and understand your concern.
What happens is not pretty at all.
Lots of starter rope pulling, followed by lots of Choke pulling, and more starter rope pulling with some furious cussing, then the ignition switch gets flipped back and forth a few times and the cycle repeats untill the sawyer runs outta creative profanitys.
At this point, usually the Sawyers cutting partner suggests that maybe there is something wrong with the fuel, and the cap is removed.
The resulting cussing in most cases, is authoritative enough to disturb local Avian life forms and alter the Mating habits of woodland rodentia.
Most times the oil is poured out, and the fuel tank is rinsed with pre-mix, and the spark plug removed with more pulling and cussing than before untill again the unique and creative Profanitys run out,the plug is re-installed and the saw starts.
If you experience such a phemomenon yourself, remember that beating the tailgate with the saw is NOT the answer, and it's better to hurl less fragile objects while in a blind rage...Saw cases and spare tires are perfect for this.
If you witness someone else with the symptoms, remember that no one has successfully thrown a chainsaw THROUGH a tree YET.
Keep one between you and the victim of oilinthewrongfriggintankosis untill symptoms pass.
One tank at a time, one jug at a time..and maintain a safe distance from anyone starting a saw right after refueling.
Stay safe!

if you got bar oil up to the carb you probaly will have to clean it. but if not you can just dump it out and rinse out the gas tank and it will run fine. ive done this before i just take a little bit of gas and slosh it around dump it out. fill it back up and go to town.

I love it when I forget to put the gas cap back on and get a surprise front pocket full of gas!
