None, for normal and regular usage in either gas or oil.

Seafoam. Works for an injector cleaner and carbon removal.

ditto on seafoam! Works especially well on my 18hp riding mower when it
starts acting rough. I was almost going to rebuild
the carb but I ran a tank full of this in it (diluted of coarse) and it
idled like new. I have to do this about once a year. I also put a
can a year in a tank full of gas in my 300zx with 260K miles on it.

I've heard that a little sugar in the gas tank will sweeten the exhaust and
take care of that "rotten egg" smell........

None whatsoever. Additives are a good way to screw up the chemistry of
fluids that were very carefully engineered to to their jobs in the first
place.

This has got to be a joke! Sugar in the gas will burn up the engine or
cause it to seize. Back in the '60's when anti-war protests were BIG,
the Hippies would try to sneak sugar into the cop cars, if they could
get one not being watched. That car would soon smoke and the engine
would seize. Oh, for the good old days.

I'm not sure this poster intends harm or even knows this but anything
from him should be regarded with suspicion.

I have an old Army Technical Manual/soft back book here that I bought at
a gun show many years ago.The book is about putting different thingys in
gas tanks.I haven't looked in the book in a long time, but I think the
book says sugar isn't effective.

Have you ever tried Marvel Mystery Oil? I tried it out many years ago.I
couldn't tell whether it made any difference or not.

For what? The Marvel folks promote it as doing everything mixed with all
fluids. They suggest mixing it with oil, gas, probably with gin and scotch
too.

I'll say that it's a handy solvent for removing varnish and gunk.... soak a
rag with it and do some cleanup while you have the valve covers off...

I've added to engine a few hundred before oil change. I think it
cleans, dilutes the old heavy oil and I can't see it work but I think
it works. Better than an "engine cleaner" maybe because those product
get out too much stuff and your engine oil will be dirty for 2-3 oil
changes. I've used on motorcycle trannies that tend to get
contanminated by water. Does a good job of absorbing water. Used to
lube my air tools. And it smells good too.

This is an urban legend. Sugar does not dissolve in gasoline. Probably
the worst it would do is clog up the fuel filter. The Mythbusters tried
it on a show a while back...it had no effect on the car.

Urban legend. Dont believe it. It CAN block a fuel line or a filter, as
can sand or
any other particulate that does not dissolve in gasoline.

I heard if you dissolve the sugar in water first, then dump the water
in the tank, it can have some real adverse effects but it's just what
I heard from who knows where.

That may work. I had a customer with a driveability complaint with what
appeared to be soda in the gas tank. That really did a number on the injectors
and the tank had to be removed and cleaned before it would run properly. Had
to replace all the injectors and flush the entire fuel system.
