I own a fleet of white vans (slrpnk.net)

I have heard that putting sugar in my fuel tank may lead to my vans not working anymore. This is an outcome I am looking to avoid.

I use these vans to transport children, who I usually pick up from sites about a few miles out. I would be really miffed if those vans were disabled in such a way that they were not able to make it to those children.

Are there any other actions I should avoid taking with my vans? I really wouldn’t want to cause damage to them in such a way that they would fail before the children got inside them.

In order to keep your fleet running smoothly and reliably, follow the manufacturer's recommended oil change schedule and always use the appropriate oil grade, instead of trying alternatives like 40% sodium silicate solution in 60% water

edit: I forgot to mention if the release cable to your hood is broken, you can always open up the latch of the hood with a flathead screw driver
