Re: Type of gas?

Someone poured a lot of sugar/syrup in my gas tank. Fucked up my car pretty good, so no it is not just an urban myth. My engine locked and wouldn't turn over as the needles were stuck open in the carb and fuel was pouring into the cylinders. Lucky I didn't bend any rods. Had to remove the gas tank and complete fuel system and wash it with hot water. The bowls of the carburator had an inch of syrup type mixture in them.
