not good! dont drive it or start it. i guess u could try sifining (spelling?) the gas tank until its empty. i definetly wouldnt drive it until u have a regular tank of gas only. can i ask why you have water and detergent in ur tank?

during finals some senior dumped this shit in a bunch of peoples cars and i found out after i got home, so i drove it about 2 miles and didn't notice anything wrong w/it. But haven't driven since, what will be the matter w/it?

DAMN!!! I would be soo pissed...if someone dumped that shit in my tank it would be over for them. That is seriously a pretty fucked up prank, mess with me not with my car. You should get even with that prick!!

get under the car.. there will be a drain bolt on the bottom of the gas tank.. get out an oil catch pan or something and empty the gas tank into it. put plug back in and refill with gas. to make sure you get it all out you could empty the tank again and then refill.

You should make that senior pay for any repairs that you have to do, including emptying your gas tank. That is vandalism and not a funny prank. -chris b.

yeah i knew a guy that did that to just because he was bored and wanted to watch some thing blow up.
if i were you i would do like Breezio said but after you drain it i would disconnect the fuel line going to the fuel rail and the fuel filter and get a couple bottles of cheap fuel system cleaner. get a funnel or something and pour some of the cleaner mix with a little new gas down the fuel line to make sure it clean. change the fuel filter and the filter on the fuel pump. and rinse the tank and rear lines and stuff with some gas and fuel sys. cleaner. then when you fill it back up put a bottle of water remover and a bottle of injector cleaner in.

i had a 91 civic that someone poured soda into wiht sugar....I didnt notice anything until the throttle body starting sticking wide open. Honda removed my tank and installed a new one...If you know who did it, call the cops and make the mother fucker pay for it. I would at the very least do what breezio said and drain it completely if not get a new tank..Either way, id make him pay. Just dont drive it.

Me and my friends would be at the kids house that same night. Dont call the cops, they wont do anything...
I had a 86 monte carlo...parents bought it for me for my 16th bday...It was like a 700 dollar car... So I poured suger in the gas tank so it would blow up. I acted all depressed till they bought me another car...like a 93 baretta. Not much better, but was nice. I was a rotten kid.

Yeah, drain the tank, make the mother f-er pay, and do yourself a favor. Get a STANT locking gas cap. That was the first purchase I made for my ride. I have been through the "sugar" thing in the past with an old Nissan pulsar (may she be missed :( )
