It will if it’s inside the engine, as in inside the crankcase where oil goes. Your fuel filter will block any sediment, and there isn’t a ton that dissolves in gas. If the only thing you have available is the gas tank you want to add an oxidizer. Bleach in a gas tank will fuck an engine up, as will a few non petroleum fuels. Diesel will stall a gas engine, sand and sugar do nothing, but bleach will internally rust every bit of iron in the fuel rail and inside the cylinders.
I wonder how many sugar cubes can be thrown into their fuel tank without them noticing.
FYI, sugar doesn’t dissolve in gasoline. The sugar-in-the-tank thing is an old wives’ tale.
Luckily water is heavier than gasoline, is available everywhere, and engines can’t run on it.
Oh thanks
Sand will also generally fuck an engine up, just as an FYI.
