Sugar placed in your lower engine will make a mess but contrary to myth and urban legend it will NOT trash your engine. The sugar will go no farther than the oil filter where it will be trapped, causing no damage to the bearings, oil passages or other vital components. The oil pan and valve cover will have to be removed and all remnants of the sugar cleaned out, possibly replacement of the oil pump as well. Then an engine flush and oil/filter change should clear the engine for safe operation. Sugar, being an organic material, does not mix with gasoline or engine oil and will simply settle to the bottom of the tank or pan. Like I said before, it's a mess but you won't need an engine. |

Normally it is put in the gasoline, but what happens is that it partly carbonizes and partly turns into a sticky candy mess that freezes the engine. If you feel sure there is sugar, drain the crank case, flush it with appropriate fluid (oil or gasoline handled with extreme care) and fill it with oil. Look at what you take out and consider doing it all over again or dropping the pan to see what is inside.
Gasoline, you drain the tank. |

It will run for a while and then when you get pretty far it will just quit on you. |

Nothing good....if you can prove it was vandalized, you can claim this on your insurance, less you deductible of course. |

Well the sugar could get into the engine, scrape the sides of the cylinders and possibly mess up a whole lot of other crap. Expect to rebuild your engine sooner or later and don't let anyone besides yourself get under your hood. |
