Answer #1

It will damage the car but I don’t know how long it will take.

Answer #2

how much sugar? or sand? a teaspoonful? tablespoonful? quarter cup? cup? half pound? pound? just how small of an amount can screw it up? I would imagine a larger amount would screw it up faster. but would a small enough amount not screw it up at all? also wouldn’t putting a gas aditive (like 104+) do that same thing if you put too much?

Answer #3

It is going to destroy the engine. Depends how much sugar and how low the tank gets.

Answer #4

Answer #7
