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. Shocked 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. Wink justice will be served!

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.  Grin

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.

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............

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?

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.
