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?
