The effects of sugar in the gas tank, seem to be more myth than fact. Seems to me the sugar isnt carmalizing in time to do damage to the engine. So if i carmalze it first then funal the hot, sugary melt into the tank, will if do more damage that not melting it??

What, are you auditioning for "Mythbusters"? It's not a myth, and it causes damage, and if you try to claim it with your insurance and they find out you did it intentionally, they will deny coverage. I'm not sure how the vandals do it, but it messes up people's cars all the time.

Sugar produces carbon and carbon buildup is not you are looking for in your engine.

sugar will not dissolve in gasoline. You need to first dissolve it in alcohol.
the engine does the carmelizing for you.

Its still sugar which is very sticky and would clog everything that it touches throughout your vehicle.

It's not gas, so don't put it in the GAS TANK.
