a friend of mine got his car broken into the other night and the ppl that did it decided to pour sugar in the gas tank. anyone know what he can do to get the sugar out? the sugar is also in the power steering reservoir. i need a reply asap, thanks.

 

Dont drive it. Drop the gas tank and rinse the hell out of it or just get a new one. Then clean out the fuel pump sock also.

how do i rinse it? with what? water? the sugar is startin to crystalize...

 

DONT drive it no matter what , or good bye car. Do what he said ^^^.

 

I wanna know how to and what i should use to rinse the tank-completely clean. replacing it is the last resort. damn, its gonna be pretty hard to find a new gas tank for an MK3 supra then. ****** haters and thieves mannnn

 

first, your going to have to drop the tank. It will be a pain in the *** if you dont drop it. Then your going to have to fill it 1/2 way and swish the new gas around a couple of times and dump it out. This is not a 100% guarantee that all the sugar will be gone. Trust me though, the best thing is just to go get a used one out of a junkyard. Less than 100 bux. Then you have nothing to worry about.

 

I swear there was a myth busters episode about this, I thought they figured out it actually did nothing, other than clog the hell out of the filter and injectors.

You will need to drop the tank and get it all out, or go to the junk yard and find a new tank.

They did...it was on a carbeurated engine though. The sugar messes up the injectors i thought.

 

sugar doesnt do anything to your car but clogs it numb nuts!

you can drive it as much as you want... i had a friend that had at least a pound of sugar in his gas tank and didnt do a thing about it until after a year. he just took 30 mins at a gas station filling up.

 

so what kinda damage would it actually do to the engine and fuel injectors?

 

Well it could Clog your Fuel Injectors and Cause you to Run Lean Maybe, I have Heard Stories but i would just Drop the Tank see if u can find one for Cheap just to be Safe.

 

a gurl did that to her boyfriend in ma area...his **** never ran good again...even after changing most of the fuel components

 

just get a new tank and save money, time, and bs

gl

 

well i guess it wouldnt really matter anyway...we scrapped that 7MGE the other night...my friend wants to get the 1jz engine swap so yeah...still needs a new gas tank i guess. just to make sure it dont expletive up the new engine.

 

i wouldnt even turn the car over, that will prime the fuel pump/lines with sugar/gas. new tank, and add a can of fuel system cleaner.

 

Use the old gas from the gas tank to burn down the house that the theives live in!!!
