Dan, TB-=20
 The sugar can't get INTO the combustion chambers to burn.=20
It won't get past the filter.
It doesn't dissolve.
It would act just like sand. Or rust. Or dirt.

  I am of the understanding the burning of the sugar (and in such big
  concentrations) makes for left over carbon build up, fouling plugs,
  clogging valve seats & catalytic converters, etc., etc.


  Just a little won't do much, but what happens to fuel injectors?
