sugar in my tank

skizzfry · April 02, 2005, 01:09:09 PM

to make a long story short...about 5 months ago i had to kick my roommate out because he kept slipping on rent. About 3 weeks later his x girlfriend called me and said that the day he moved out he dumped some sugar in my gas tank of my z400. i just thought she was just being vindictive and wanted me to beat him down.for three months i ran the sh#& out of my quad and there was no problems. for the last month i havent started the quad because i got hurt.So today was gonna ride so i thought i should drain all of the old gas and put fresh gas in.When i was done draining the gas i looked down the tank to make sure all of the gas was drained.

Well ill be!!! Sugar all on the bottom of my tank. I took it to the shop shortly after. Can anybody explain why my quad still runs perfect after putting 15-20 hours on it with all that sugar in the tank? also does anybody know of any additives to clean my fuel lines? As for the punk who did it. I hurd he just got a new gti.

justice will be served!

I think they did a myth busters thing on this and they busted the myth that not real MAJOR damage will because by sugar ... could be wrong though !

It didn't damage your engine because it didn't dissolve. If he had put dark Karo corn syrup in there, you'd be hosed. Clean it all out good, replace your fuel filter and you should be good.

1slowfox is right. Sugar won't hurt your engine. Take off the tank and clean it out. You should be fine.

What you do Skiz is somehow get under his hood and dump about 5lbs of sugar in his oil. It will run great until he shuts it off and it cools down. Then it will turn to concrete.

Paybacks a b%$ch.

Naaah, just act like nothin ever happened and you know nothing about it. Turkey season rolls around offer to take him huntin and let him wear your red dew rag, let him do all the callin.

get under his hood and put some paint in his windshield wiper reservoir...when he goes to clean his windows on the highway, he won't be able to see sh*t!!

They did do a myth busters on that, and it doesnt hurt the engine. That show is cool.

When I was in high school, a friend of mine had his car engine ruined, someone put lacquer in his oil. Don't know how much, but it glued it up real tight. Had to get another engine.

I bet when you ran your quad with the sugar in the gas it ran sweet ...lol

skizzfry · April 05, 2005, 06:20:52 PM

pour some old motor oil in the guy's gas

HondaBeaterSFL · April 06, 2005, 07:13:46 AM

Nice, smoke and choke is what I'd call that. a plug fouler for sure.

TRX350_On_The_Rack · April 06, 2005, 07:15:52 AM

What else you going do with the old oil?

skizzfry · April 06, 2005, 09:23:00 PM

trx,
i think thats the ticket.

the only thing sugar will actually do is get in the needle and stop it from sitting in the seat, as for revenge, poke his spark plug wires with a needle a bunch of times, it will miss like hell. now ass for a non-lethal and non-distructive but very affective way of getting him , get stick on wheel weights from a tire shop and stick them on the insides of his tires, it will take awhile to figure out what the vibration is............

put a fish in his hub cap

easy to do

I was always curious about "great stuff" expanding foam, in the exhaust pipe. Do it at night and by morning its solid. What would that do?

dirty1 · April 10, 2005, 04:03:22 PM

when it gets hot it will melt out but before that happens it will create enuff back pressure to mess up the oxygen sensors reading

Stick anchovies in his cowl vents by his windshield, they will start to rot and every time he runs the AC it will stink like rotting fish in his car. TRUST me it works.

W/E happened to the the old school....just slash the tires

heres one for ya. throughout my many years as a mechanic i am witness to brake fluid on paint. put some brake fluid in watergun drive by and squirt away. i guarantee you that by morning the paint will be bubbled up and will wipe right off and leave it on the metal.
