Why would you want to put brasso in your petrol tank ?
the brasso would dilute with the petrol in the tank and your car would smoke for a while but no real damage would be caused , you would have to literally put in about a gallon before real damage is caused but then it would most likely just block up your fuel filter`s first before it even got to your injector`s or carb depending on the age of your car !

Not much.
The solid will either sink to the bottom of the tank & settle or get pulled through the system & block the fuel filter. If you removed the filter - then it would form an abrasive 'soot' on the combustion chhmber & exhaust valves.
The liquid part won't affect the running of the car significantly as unlss you're dumping LOTS of it in it'll be mainly petrol.

It is a way to wreck an engine, brasso is a fine abrasive that will do massive damage. The reason is because it is oil based and the abrasive is left behind after the combustible solvent is burnt so it accumulates in the cylinders and wrecks the bores and valvegear.

It would most probably cough, splutter, and stop completely. It is an expensive job cleaning the petrol system on a car.

I wouldn,t recomend it brasso is abrasive, but if you have fill the tank and it will dilute it so much it would not do any harm

It probably depends on how much. I'm sure a small amount would just dissolve and burn up. You can basically put any petroleum or flammable/combustible liquid in there. Diesel, oil, Alcohol, are all OK just as long as their isn't too much. I'll leave defining what too much is to the experts.

I don't know about brasso in the gas, but if you're trying to ruin your engine, the fastest way is to pour Clorox (bleach) in your oil.

If you're lucky it will sink to the bottom of the fuel tank,
if not it will not do any good, but probably stick the fuel
system. I don't know where you get your ideas from

I would say that if the tank is full of gas, that you might get luck and burn it unless it cloggs the fuel injectors.
