What are the consequences of putting white sugar in the engine?
2 Answers
Putting white sugar in the engine can cause irreparable mechanical damage. Since white sugar does not dissolve in engine oil and melts as the engine temperature rises, it increases the viscosity of the oil and disrupts normal oil circulation. Large sugar particles that cannot pass through the oil coarse filter will affect the oil pump's pressure, while melted sugar can enter the oil filter, causing blockages and reducing the engine's lubrication performance. Here is additional information: 1. The impact of putting white sugar in the engine is long-term: Modern engine oil filtration systems are highly efficient and won't show immediate problems. Severe engine damage would require a large amount of sugar, prolonged intervals between oil changes, repeated mixing of sugar into the oil, or an older vehicle. 2. Carbon deposits: Sugar particles that pass through the fuel supply system and filtration can still leave tiny residues that enter the engine with the fuel. When burned, the CHO elements in sugar produce carbon deposits, damaging the engine.
Last time, my neighbor's car had sugar added to it, which was a complete disaster! As soon as the engine started, the sugar melted and clogged the fuel lines, jamming both the fuel pump and the filter. Later, when the engine was taken apart, it was found that the crankshaft bearings were scored, and the engine oil mixed with carbonized sugar turned into an abrasive, directly wearing down the cylinder walls and piston rings. The cost of repairing it by replacing the engine was almost enough to buy half a used car. People who do such destructive things are truly despicable.
