noneneeded Im sorry to say this but I also saw that epesode of Myth Busters. My exwife had sombody dump sugar in the gastank. the fuel injection pump filter was almost completely pluged with sugar, that the car would hardly run. Also the fuel screen for the carburator was also partialy pluged. On mistake the Myth Busters did was left the gastank still on the floor. I had this same conversation with the insurance adjuster at the time, about 15 years ago, take a glass of water, dump a spoon of sugar into it. What happens to it? It floats to the bottom of the glass. Now take that same spoon, and stir it up. What happens? The sugar now is all over inside the glass of water. Now the sugar will get sucked up into the fuel lines, and the rest of the fuel system. After my conversation with the insurance adjuster, he autherized the garadge where the car was at the time to fix whar ever needed fixing. New gas tank, new lines, new filters, and the injection pump cleaned and repaired every thing that had to be. It didn't cost us a dime, not even the deductable. So I beg to differ with the myth busters. By the way, the sugar they took out of everything was real klumpy. sugar in gas doesn't melt down and burn. It turns inta an abbracive. If the care was older without fuel injection, that engine would have been toast. Do the water glass experiment and you will see.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
