Question

Purely for scientific reasons of course, but what would cause the most amount of disruption if added to petrol?

I've heard sugar works well, anything else?

Sugar - it turns the petrol to syrup ! a bit like treacle. In extreme cases you can get hydraulic lock !

Sugar in the oil is best.

TSL had a Saab convertable in, nearly new. Bloke had bought it from an auction. The car had been reposesed as the owner didn't keep up payments.

It looks like the first owner had poured sugar in the oil before it was reposesed. It ran for a few hundred mile then the oil pressuer light came on.

TSL stripped the engine to find every oil gallery etc totaly gunged up with thick black treacle, nearly all moving components had suffered from oil strarvation.

The engine was SCRAP.

LOL at EB. Hey, blanket weed under control now - that fcuked with me too, so that's also on my list!

Baking soda sounds nice. But mercury azide?! Bet Tesco don't sell that by the dozen?! WTF is mercury azide, and what does it do?

Think i'll tell my "friend" to stick to sugar, and gloat as scoped ****emobile spends more and more time off the road. To55er.

If only AK47's were legal...
