They got someone on "The Peoples Court" that put sugar in someones gas
tank. I have heard of this before, causing problems with the car.
My questions is what does the sugar do to the gas and the car?

Once in the high pressure and temperature of the cylinder, it forms
into carbon goo, generally destroying the engine by causing the crank,
piston shaft, or block, to break.

Something funny, it ain't.
