Sugar will not dissolve in gas . It will however dissolve in water . Most of the older cars and pre ethanol days there was usually water sitting in the bottom of gas tanks . Sugar liquified , made it up to the carb, gummed stuff up . I have seen many cases come into shop ,but never had a trashed engine. Possibly because did not work on that old of stuff , guessing started wrenching full time round 1978 . All of the fuel injected cars that I repaired I flushed tank with hot water , flushed fuel lines and rail with hot water . This was from a bulletin issued by AllState Insurance . They all ran great afterwards . Not sure what E85 will do ? But ,,try it , jar of gas , cup of sugar , no dissolving . I"m going to try e85 and sugar this weekend .
