Sugar would just get filtered out, like sand. The real shit is water. It floats on top if the gas, doesn't get filtered out and can be hard to detect. Can really fuck up an engine. It's a bitch to fix even if you knew there was water in it.
I recall reading a few FMs on this subject and if I'm not mistaking my memory, sugar is not a good agent for this kind of stuff. I think all it basically did was whatever dissolved just burned with the gasoline and whatever didn't got filtered. And when the filter was removed and the solid particulate was allowed to move freely no noticeable decline in engine performance. I should look at it again just to confirm though.
Lentils are cheap, but sugar in the fuel tank is more effective.

Damn technology, I miss the old days.
What about corn syrup? Diluted
It would probably fuck up the filter or injectors, not sure how much you'd need. Like a big jug of it? Water is also cheap!
don't know if it's true but the sugar theoretically dissolves in the gasoline
Not really. If you really want to go the sugar route you need to disolve it into water first.
But glucose has OH groups and is polar, isn't it? So it shouldn't dissolve in a nonpolar diluent.
sounds right to me, just saying that's the urban legend's explanation. I guess "theoretically" was teh wrong word to use

Maybe sugar in water?
