Putting salt in an engine may result in criminal charges for property damage if the engine is ruined. Consequences of pouring salt into a car's fuel tank: Salt can cause fuel line rusting. While salt doesn't chemically react with gasoline, it doesn't dissolve significantly either, leading to fuel deterioration, fuel line corrosion, and potentially severe tank damage. It's recommended to drain all fuel and clean the tank along with related components. Consequences of pouring sand into a car's fuel tank: Sand affects the entire diesel fuel system as it's insoluble. It reduces gasoline fluidity and may clog fuel lines including the tank, pipes, filter, pump, and injectors.
