    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.

      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
