thanks in advanced and sorry for the noob Q? but i cant think straight im fucken pissed

Now, I have never had this happen to me. But, of course, when we were young we all had these ideas on how to vandalize and so on and so forth. I, for one, never did do anything like this, though.

This being said, I am not an expert. But, what I heard was that sugar in the gas tank will only damage one part of the car.

It will only clog the fuel filter.

And, only if they put a lot in your gas tank.

But, this is only what I heard. Take what I said with a grain of...sugar.

Stay cool and stay safe. Make sure your cap is locked and don't make any enemies.

 

the newer accord s have a whole subframe that goes around the gas tank. it is hell to remove. I suggest that you bring it to a shop because you cant do it on the ground

 

already drained not much went to the gas tank
but it is all clean
now it is all about maintaining it clean

 

i think you'll be all right

 

It's a good thing you noticed becuase if you would have started the car then you would have been FUCKED. Well, fucked as far as the "sugar in the gas tank" legend goes. I for one have never done it but i guess it ruins the motor. As previously stated, make sure the WHOOOLE tank is clean and all the fuel lines/filter is drained and everything before you start the car.

 

Mine as well take it to the dealership and do it. The filter is in the tank

 

LOL.. i found this kinda interesting and wonder what would happened. So i did a search and someone here hit the theory on the spot. Here's the link if u're interested.. http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/msugargs.html

 

what made you check, how did you know they even touched your car.
i dont understand, how did they even get to your gas tank.

 

Sugar was a big problem for carbureted cars. The sugar/gas solution would get hot in the carb and then after shut-off, cool down and crystallize. Then you have a carb coated from the inside in rock candy.

It's certainly not good for fuel injected cars but I haven't heard of it killing one.

I really did not check i woke up early and turned on the car so it would warm up then 5-10 mins later wifey came in and told me.They left a big pile of sugar and the gas cap open, but nothing happend to the engine. why? I honestly dont know
but i guess I was lucky

^^^ did they pry it open or something?

 

I think i would much rather have a banana in the tailpipe over sugar in the tank anyday!

 

Yeah How they got the door open for the gas cap is the big question? Did you leave the doors unlocked?
