I know, it was positively dumb, but now what do I do? Do I simply drain the oil chamber. It won't start.

Thanks for all the answers. No, I did not run the powerwasher after pouring gasoline into the oil chamber. I tried to start it and it wouldn't start so I decided to leave things alone and ask you guys for help.

Since it used to lubricate the pump, it must be drained and refilled with the proper oil. If you have not run the unit it is doubtful that you have damaged it.

Did you run the engine after you poured gas in the oil filler?
I would drain the oil, refill, get it started and drain that oil.
Fill it with new oil again.
If it won't start, it's possible that you've damaged the piston ring and the engine will have to be rebuilt.

you should drain it and refill it with the right oil, Gas will cut the lubrication ability of the oil present and the pump will lock-up if you do not change it.

What they said about draining and refilling.
Are you taking something that says "Do not operate machinery when taking this drug"?
If so, can you send me any that you have left... :-)

yes you should drain it and put fresh oil in it.
