Provides sugar in the tank for you total loss of the engine? Does this actually work or is it just a legend? It usually happens with regard to a total loss nothing. At least not by itself and immediately. However, you should not pour any sugar into the tank, as the sugar cannot dissolve in diesel or petrol. But it also arises no sticky substance, which glued the tank, engine and fuel line, as often claimed. Yes, even if there is no sticky substance, you should still don't put sugar in the tank. As the undissolved sugar crystals can cause serious damage. For example on Fuel Filter, the Injectors and at the Fuel pump. It is enough if the pump, which pumps around 60 liters per minute in new cars, whirls up and sucks in isolated sugar crystals to cause damage. Depending on the situation, you may not notice the minor damage at first, but it can still be expensive.
only put petrol / diesel in the tank
Ultimately, other solids or airborne particles are just as dangerous as sugar. By the way, there are much better things to paralyze a car. In general, nothing other than diesel or petrol should be put into the tank. The more modern engines are also extremely sensitive. Even things that used to be perfectly normal, like adding a little petrol to the diesel tank in winter so that the diesel doesn't freeze, should be done nowadays do no more, so as not to damage the engine.
short term is possible
In principle, sugar in the tank is the end of the engine. But some older engines also run sweetened for a certain period of time Only when the quantity is too large can the granules clog filters and nozzles. did it happen Then it means for EVERY vehicle Clean tank, change nozzles etc. In any case, this is expensive fun.
the cleaning of the system
In order to clean the tank, it is necessary to remove the gas tank to expand. Of course the tank has to be as empty as possible. So it's best to drive the car far into the reserve. There are several options for expansion. How exactly this works is explained in our article "Clean the fuel tank: how it's done!"
And finally ... Simply pouring sugar into the tank and thereby destroying the engine does not necessarily work immediately. The sugar settled at the bottom and the engines will likely keep running for a while. Only if the amount is too large can the granules clog the filters and nozzles of the system.
