Well someone put sugar in my gas tank, I noticed it today when I went to put in some fuel injector cleaner and then fuel the car. I'm looking for any information on this. I'm a little nervous because I have an aftermarket fuel pump (inline) aswell as the stock one in the tank. Keep in mind I'm turbocahrged as well.
I'm going to tear out the fuel filler tube and possibly drop the tank. Whats your opinons??? Thanks.

best advice ever...especially if you have someone who doesn't like you too well. i got one for my cars when gas started skyrocketing cuz my neighbor walked out to his car and found a hose hanging from the tank and no gas...
GO PATS!!!
or better yet, shave ur gas door, and relocate it
get a locking cap and start being more friendly...
They tested the sugar in the gas tank on Mythbusters and found that it just pretty much sits on the bottom of the tank. It still might be a good idea to drop the tank and get it out but I wouldn't be too worried right now.
You can't outrun the radio.
i knew a guy that had a built mustang, as in the engine was completely rebuilt and all kinds of perforance goodies, His ex g/f dumped sugar in the gas tank and it killed it within a couple weeks. Dunno how much she put in but true story.
number 1 Buy some antifreeze and a funnel go to the exgirlfriends at 3am and dump the whole amount in...why antifreeze? it go's by the filters better and glazes the cyl wall better i'd see if shes dating someone that will be your guy (punk) if it was me and i had beef i'd just knock on your door.. ya man drop your tank and flush it sugar isn't the worst thing ya can do to a car but its still a pain in the ass ...fk the lock cap buy a baseball bat!

Alright thanks guys, yeah I already picked up a locking gas cap. I took apart the filler tube part and there was a dixie cup full of sugar just in there, i also replaced the fuel filter. I'm going to drop the tank next just to sleep better at night. Who knows if any got in there, the filter didn't look bad so I dont think any got past the filler tube even.

sugar does not dissolve in gasoline .. it stays in the same state as it would just laying in a jar ...putting sugar in the gas tank would be no different than putting sand in your gas tank .. the fuel filter would catch it and simply clog the filter
what kind of idiot just drops in a dixie cup full of sugar? geeze, if you're going to vandalize, at least do it right!! lucky for you though...
GO PATS!!!

i dont see how people can take your gas out is it even possible i bought a suction thing and i could not get more then a cup or so out of the line. id imagine to get any gas out of a car there would have to be some big thing that screws on the end where the cap goes and makes a suction throughout the entire thing i dont think just a hose will do it like the old days
Right, there is a siphon block in the filler tube, unlike "the old days"

Accordingly, the best way to gain revenge on someone through the "sugar in the gas tank" prank might be to simply play on the belief rather than the reality — just sprinkle a fair amount of sugar on the ground beneath the opening to the fuel tank of your victim's car and leave an empty sugar sack in a conspicious spot near the vehicle. Then sit back and watch your victim go wild trying to figure out how to deal with all that sugar he assumes is now in his gas tank.
Now that's funny.
na the best was hooking up the horn to the brake pedel on the new guys car at work and sending him to the coffee shop at noon putt putt beeeeeeep!! putt putt putt beeeeep!! this guy had no clue what was going on.
