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. :o 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.  ;D
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

lol.... i was gonna take all of his lugs off of his wheels,but i dont want anyone else hurt. I was also thinking of putting a 10 guage slug  his vr6 engine block. Thanks for the tips.

pour some old motor oil in the guy's gas

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

What else you going do with the old oil?

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  ;D 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?

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.

this is true Brake Fluid takes off everything


you could just be a sport and let this guy slide...somehow he will get his in the end..........(what? no...thought so :P)

na.

you guy are evil  ;D

Do it with his girlfriend ;)

And let him carry the decoys with the heads sticking out. Let him play with your gobble call. (That dosen't sound right! lol)

lol... thats bad bro.

'

But its the best idea yet....well depends on what she looks like

Oh yea. That or plant a bomb under his car....

Mabye that is a little too extreme.. Ya think Also you could take paint stripper and write not a very nice person on the side of his car and the paint will come off like that.

It shoudn't say not a very nice person it should say @$$ hole

I like the way you think ;D

Screw all that high cost damage...it'll just end you up in the clink (jail)...or shot (a little worse)
Get some deer piss in a bottle and put it on his door handle...low cost...non-destructive and very effective.

I like the girlfriend thing also...picture please.

Tim

Who you gonna get to hold the deers winkie?

 :o
LOL
Damn dude...I was talking about some hunters scent.  But if you want to try to hold a deers winkie, I'm thinking you'll have a pissed off deer...unless it's a gay man loving deer.
Tim

wrap a piece of tape around his driveshaft ( if its rear wheel drive ) be sure to let a piece about 4 inches long flop around loosely.

LOL ;D

Now THAT will really piss the deer off!

bleach in the gas tank ;D

Now that thar is funny...

I'm a auto tech also. I say do the brake fluid, bang his g/f, and after like 2 years beat the crap outta him.  HAHAHAHAHA

Smother peanut butter all over the radiator then sit back and wait for it to overheat

arif (reefer650) likes to rub peanut butter all over his a$$ and watch something else overheat

What I like is go to the auto parts store buy A lockable gas tank cap take his old one off put the lockable one one and here is the kicker break the key key off inside the lock.He'll get A big suprise when he needs gas.  [smiley=EvilSmile.gif]


And another one but does'nt harm anyone is:You know those little cards that fall out of magazines for sudscriptions.Take those,and find out his address and fill out as many as you can.(no postage!)And check the box bill me later.Try to find mags. like Playgirl or some Homo. mags.He'll bang his head againest the wall trying to cancel them all. [smiley=banghead.gif] [smiley=EvilSmile.gif] [smiley=EvilSmile.gif] [smiley=EvilSmile.gif] [smiley=EvilSmile.gif]


O' don't forget about his girlfriend [smiley=kiss.gif]If you know what I mean [smiley=Wink.gif]

Take it as a lesson learned . I noticed you said he KEPT slipping on the rent. Find a roommate that makes alot of money.

Use bailing wire to attach a fish to his exhaust headers.  Ever try and get burnt fish smell out of a car?  You can't.  

Sugar may not work in the gas tank, but sand does.

I'd still do it with his girlfriend.  She must like you if she called to warn you ;)

Stupid question... But did you ever run on reserve during the time that your pal put the sugar till the time you discovered it? It could be that the sugar was in the reserve area and under the reach of the main supply.  Sugar is devastating to the engine when it hardens!

This guy will find out on his own that the world is round.........................but you could always cover his car with frosted flakes and let the morning dew soften them up on his paint for ya............have you ever tried to get a dried frosted flake out of a cereal bowl ??? :) :) ;D :o :o :o

Not to mention all the Gull crap :o.

I am with him here, bang his gf a few times. ;)

fill all the keyholes on his ride with superglue
