Default Check Engine+exhaust Smells Like Fuel +blue Smoke = Problems...help!!

My JK Unlimited has 2600 miles on it and I have experienced the first problem...
My engine began idling extremely low, the check engine light, not only illuminated, but started flashing and beeping. I then noticed bluish thick smoke coming from the exhaust. I pulled-over limmediatly to check it out and noticed a gasoline smell coming from the exhaust. Needless to say, I called for a tow and now my new JK Unlimited is sitting at the dealership waiting for a diagnosis. Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what the HELL is wrong. Any thoughts Would Be Appreciated.......

I'm not a mechanic, but I think blue smoke means you're burning oil and that means rings or valve seals.

Your Jeep is now worthless... I'll come by and take it off your hands, and won't charge you a dime for the transport fee!

Seriously, I hope everything turns out okay.

.....found out what the problem was. You will not believe this....I am still trying to understand how this happened. Anyway, the mechanic told me I had a tank full of diesel fuel. Needless to say, I thought he was joking. Apparently, Raceway gas stations have there diesel lines on the same pumps as there gas lines and they use the same nossel for all. The only thing separating them are the buttons and the 87 octane button is next to the diesel button. So the moral of this story is......if you are finding yourself pumping gas at 2am, make sure you are not pumping diesel in your tank and NEVER use Raceway gas....................Nothing damaged other than my pride and I am out $180 for pumping out the diesel.

Sorry you had to go through that, but it could have been so much worse! I'll take a firm kick to my pride anyday if it means not going through something horrendous.
