Sugar works the same as molasses and doesn't leave any drippy residue to foil the plan. Pretty sloppy sabotage, if you ask me.
Tell that to the people who had sugar dumped in their tanks. The people I knew who underwent this little bit of revenge had to replace their engine.
Car capers myths with Earl the CaddyEarl the Caddy was donated by a viewer for mythbusting use in the spirit of Buster the dummy. After a resurrection of the engine by Scottie, they did several mythbustings with the car, including interesting additives in the gas tank, bullets fired at the car, and potatoes in the tailpipe.Car caper 1: veggies/fruit in tailpipeThey shoved potatoes and bananas up the tailpipe of Earl the caddy to see if they could break its engine. In all their tests the potato/banana came shooting out quite easily. bustedCar caper 2: "Unauthorized" additivesThey removed the engine and gas tank (with see-through cover) and put them in a blast shield.Drain clog remover: engine kept running. bustedBleach: car eventually cut out. The bleach also rusted up the gas tank. plausibleSugar: engine kept running. let the engine sit overnight and it still ran the next day. bustedOn a slightly different variation, they tested whether or not adding moth balls increases the octane of your gas. When they revved the engine it apparently sounded better. plausibleCar caper 3: Bullets blowing up carJamie had some well-placed shots (tight cluster) through the gas tank showing off his marksmanship. Nothing happened. bustedCar caper 4: Hiding behind car door will protect you from bulletsJamie, Adam, and one other person lined up and fired 50 bullets into the car door. The bullets went through the door quite easily. bustedCar caper 5: Janky emergency radiator repairsThey used the same rig as before with the engine removed from the car.Cola in the radiator as coolant: They ran the engine for awhile with the cola. When they stopped the engine let out a burp, but it did work (probably not wise to do nevertheless). plausibleCracking an egg into the radiator to plug holes: the hole in the radiator plugged up right away. plausibleCar caper 6: Penny in carburetor destroys engineThe engine has been severely abused by this time. In their first attempts, the penny just sat in the carb unnicked. The moved the penny in deeper, but the engine kept running even though it did munch up the engine. bustedCar caper 7: Bleach in the engine oilSmoke/steam came pouring out of the engine. The engine got hot enough to set fire to the wood that it was sitting on. To cap it off they fried an egg on the exhaust.Though there were no spectacular explosions, the engine was pretty well used up.confirmed
Interesting, for a TV program.
Hmm, I reject your reality and replace it with my own.Is that not what they say. No wonder my fine friend and would be defender of the undefendable likes that show.Howdy Vanda :wink:ler
