Does the BS fuel door lock or not? Anyone else concerned about this?

[Mark S.]

the concern was not so much what would be removed
more an issue of what might be added
many many moons ago
notice gummy appearance to area surrounding filler cap on 5 gallon boat tank
closer inspect
ants

wet forefinger
sample taste test
sugar
utters oaths of mayhem and revenge

The old "sugar in the gas tank" rumor has been around for a long time, but the majority of the concerns surrounding it aren't factual. Yes, it would make a mess, and likely require cleaning out your gas tank, but even if sugar crystals somehow manage to get past the filter and pump in your tank, and get to the engine, it will not cause catastrophic failure.

Unfortunately, it does happen. Someone recently had issues with their classic car. Asked if we could analyze the fuel. Had glucose in the spectrum, none of which is normally in gasoline. Top tier or bottom tier, 87 octane or 93 octane.

More than likely the same person that keys a car just because it's not theirs.
