Sugar in a gas tank is not nearly as damaging as just pouring water in it.
Doesn't it just clog up the fuel filter because it won't dissolve in gasoline?
Bingo, and it takes a lot to clog the filter. Plain water is more of a nuisance.
would sugar water do more damage? dissolve and burn with residue in the motor
I'm only an amateur mechanic and a middling chemist, but I'd estimate the amount of sugar water required for the sugar component to have any significant effect on an engine would just keep it from running. Gasoline won't dissolve water and water is denser, so it'll settle on the bottom of the tank. A fuel line full of water will kill combustion pretty quick.
Or diesel, in a petrol car. It's a heck of a lot less suspicious to be pouring diesel from a fuel can than it is to be pouring a big ol bag of sugar.
My OSS manual recommends sugar, but more than sugar they recommend fine sand
