***Myth*** Putting sugar in the gas tank will ruin the engine.
Reality: Sugar doesn’t dissolve in gasoline nor does it mix if added as a liquid. It simply sits at the bottom of the gas tank. If sufficient amounts were introduced to reach the fuel pump intake, sugar could eventually clog the fuel lines or filters, thus stopping the engine but it could relatively easily be removed by blowing out the lines with compressed air.
