Assuming you burn an entire full tank of gas. So it would take a while. Would you do damage to the engine? Overheat?

Well, I'd use something to hold down the gas pedal, and chain the back of the car to something unmovable like a big tree or telephone pole. That way oyur legs won't get tired.
By the way, let me know when you're going to do it so I can come watch.

Sorry, it's very unlikely that sugar in a car's gasoline tank will cause any problems to the car's engine. Sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline, and the car's fuel filter will take out this granular contaminant. However, if there's enough sugar (or salt, or sand, or...), you could block the fuel filter or cause damage to the fuel pump, thereby starving the gasoline engine of fuel. Alternately, there's what Brazil is doing: converting all that excess sugarcane and its waste products, and using that to make ethanol for their large fleet of E85/flex fuel vehicles...

Probably blow the transmission first, the engine will not overheat as long as there is air passing through the radiator. Why would you want to do this?

Hmm, lets see...................If you think about it assuming you know the basic operation of a engine and transmission, it wouldnt take a brain surgeon to figure out the kind of damage you are asking for. Hope your wallet is full, and not for buying gas either.

You would overheat the engine and transmission if you did not break something in between tmes. Likely you would junk the drivetrain.

no it wouldn't damage the engine, but it would be hard to restart the car once is full of gas again.

I'm thinking you'll get leg cramps and give up before you run out of gas.

depends if it's in gear or not, in neutral it run for a long time, most new cars have rev limiters.
in drive, you would burn up the transmission first :(
