Wow, that is one interesting story. It only effected 2 cylinders but he says cat convertor, that's singular. 3 and 4 must run into one cat on his car? How did they find the problem right away, were they short on sugar for their coffee?

These stories get more and more retarded.

You guys crack me up. I love this forum. You can sniff out a BS story anywhere

Why do people get on these forums and lie about crap, it just makes them look stupid.

This one goes beyond BS and ventures into fantasy land.

To the original poster, if you ever come back, if this story is true you've been had.

I'd be happy to! Really. I stand corrected re his posts; it seemed like all his 6 posts were on this thread per his profile.

My question: what took so long to figure out it was sugar in the tank?

The question is even bigger - why did they think the sugar caused the problem?

I like sugar in my tea (British you know) at tea time. So, one pound of sugar is a whole lot of teaspoons and at three teaspoons a cup(I like sweet tea) that is quite a wast. Now if the sugar was put in the tank one teaspoon at a time, as one would when putting sugar in tea, this in my option would take a considerable amount of time, hence the rather large bill. That does not take into account the fact that tea with the sugar in must be stirred. I am not sure how this could be done in a gas tank which would make the whole thing not fit to drink so I am going to take this whole thing with a pinch of salt.
