~~Oh, it just gums everything up. The fuel doesn't combust as well, and the pistons get sticky, among other things.~~

EDIT: I was wrong. It clogs the fuel filter, the same way sand would.

This is, at best, a myth. Sugar doesn’t dissolve in gasoline. There may be trace amounts of water in the tank too, but not enough to dissolve a meaningful amount of sugar. All it will realistically do is clog their fuel filter, the same way sand would.

Gasoline can be up to 10% ethanol now. Does sugar dissolve into that?
