Remove the bottom portion of your rear seat. You'll see a triangle on the floor when you remove it. Remove the screws and that triangular metal plate. Under there is a ring with more screws and two hoses going into a pump along with an electrical harness. Remove the hoses + unhook the harness. Remove the screws.

Pull out the fuel pump/fuel sender unit assembly. You will see the inside of your fuel tank underneath. Using a hand operated pump, pump out all the gasoline.

The sugar will come out too. You can then clean the inside of your tank and allow it to dry before you refill the tank with gasoline.

You will smell. Make sure you have a fire extinguisher handy

Water and soda won't dissolve in the gasoline. It will just sit at the bottom of the tank. You would have to be pretty low on fuel unless you put several gallons.

To do something like this you would need something oil soluble and in some way damaging to the engine internals, i.e. something corrosive or non-compressible.

BTW Bleach in the oil will kill the motor. It may work in the gas tank but not nearly as fast or as effective.

Any water in the tank is bad. During the winter you usually want to fill up when your tank is down to 1/2 atleast so water doesnt condense inside of the tank.

Nothing will happen. I was lucky enough to catch an episode of mythbusters and they did a sim. that used all sorts of stuff in a gas tank, including sugar. They said that if it did anything, it made it run better...hope the case is the same for you!!

I saw on mythbusters that even if it gets to the engine it doesn't really do much damage. Sugar in your oil might **** **** up though.

My vote goes for the cement powder on the car, sounds like the only thing she could do is blow it off (and probably still get some scratch marks), and what are the chances that'll be the first thing she thinks of?

or just take the bolts off a front wheel, but leave the wheel on the car.

Yeah sugar isn't bad think of what a low melting point it has as soon as it hit the combustion chamber the stuff would be pure liquid....

yep, they also did that on myth busters, they poured a whole bag of suger in the tank and ran it with out it popping the motor, just drop the tank clean it out, clean the "sock" and change out your fuel filter. and i'm not for violence at all but that ***** could use a "smackin" simply for being the type of person to attack someone through their car.

Dear Tom and Ray:

I put sugar in my husband's gas tank, but the car has not been turned on yet. Is there any way we can get the sugar out or neutralized? -- Susan [bluecar.gif]

Tom: Let me start by reminding you that, someday, Susan, the two of you are going to laugh about this.

Ray: But probably not as hard as we're laughing now!

Tom: Here's the story, Susan. A lot of people believe that putting sugar in a gas tank will ruin an engine. In fact, that's undoubtedly what you thought when you dumped that 5-pound bag in there (I'm sure he deserved it, Susan).

Ray: We know that sugar does not dissolve in gasoline. And there's an old myth that sugar will "caramelize" once it gets into the cylinders and turn your cylinder walls into peanut brittle. But the truth is, it'll never get as far as the engine.

Tom: Right. There are several filters between the tank and the engine that are designed to stop exactly this type of contaminant from reaching the engine. There's a "sock" at the end of the pickup tube in the gas tank, and there's a gas filter further up the fuel line. And the sugar will be stopped there.

Ray: It will, however, almost certainly plug up the fuel filter and stop the car from running. And, depending upon how much sugar you dumped in there, you might have to replace the fuel filter -- and get stranded -- several times before you clear it all out.

Tom: So you really should get the sugar out of there. And the only way to do it is to remove the gas tank, turn it upside down and dump it out.

Ray: You'll have to have it towed to a gas station, since you don't want to run the engine. Any decent mechanic can drop the tank and clean it out for you. It's not a huge job, but it's not something you're going to do yourself. It should cost you between $100 and $200.

Tom: And next time, think about doing something more easily reversible ... like putting itching powder in his shorts.

Changing your oil regularly is the cheapest insurance you can buy for your car, but how often should you change it?
