It ruins your engine in your vehicle
It is an old wives tale, the sugar sits on the bottom of the fuel tank like sand. It does not dissolve in gasoline. The program "The Myth Busters" did a segment on this and proved sugar in the fuel tank does nothing to damage the engine.

What if you put sugar in the gas tank?
Sugar in the gas tank will not cause the engine to fail because sugar does not dissolve in gas. It will get pulled thru the gas line and into the fuel filter(s) and depending on how much sugar is in the tank, will plug the fuel filter sooner or later. This will cause the car to stall or not stay running. You can either replace the fuel filters until the sugar is gone or get the car to a mechanic and have the gas tank removed and flushed out. This is not a do-it-yourself project. You could also drive the car to the mechanic and then have the fuel filter replaced while they are flushing the gas tank.

You can add sugar to water mix it up well and then add to the gas and it will gum up everything from the tank,pump,filter,lines , injectors and spark plugs ! I know because I did just that to my cheating girlfriends car(which I ended up buying and had to clean the whole system) She never found out I did it ..Yet
