What happens to your car if somebody puts sugar in your tank. Also if that occurred could it somehow do anything to the oil.
Thanks

Nothing. It settles into the bottom of the tank where it is stays, locked there by the large in-tank filter. No it wouldn't do anything with the oil, nor could it.
If someone poured an extremely large amount in, the worst case is drop the tank, clean it, replace the in-tank filter.

Actually, it might do some good in the tank. Sugar loves water and would probably suck up any water sitting in the tank.

Now, if they put alot of water and sugar in the tank, you would have a mess. Could make you replace the fuel system.

Putting it in your oil is another matter. The oil gets hot enough to melt the sugar and it would quickly get sucked into the pick-up and starve the engine of oil. That would be time for a new engine.

Hum.....was the guy stupid enough to mistake an oil tank for your fuel tank.

Last time I checked it's in the gasoline you need to pour sugar to piss a nigga off...
