Yes, sugar in any fuel tank will gum up the fuel system of the motor and its expensive to clean, so don't do it.

How relevant is shipping to other forms of transport?

Usually not. If you have the proper equipment on your boat motor, the filter will stop any sugar from entering the engine. Drain your tank, clean it with isopropyl alcohol, air it out and refill with gas. Change your filter and before putting a new filter back in, drain your gas line as best you can. Install a new filter and you are done.

Hello! I would love to buy a sailboat, between 24 and 28 feet. I never owned a boat before.?

yes it will. I believe you want to pour Karo syrup in the tank. You know pancake syrup? Once it gets into the motor either by carbuertor or fuel injector it will stop running. It gumes up everything it comes in contact with. Injectors, valves rings and even exhaust. But you did not hear it from me.

Does anyone have any information on a 1961 wooden 44 foot Greenwich yacht?

If your engine is not a four cylendar it has a water seperating fuel filter. Look for the filter, replace it. Drain your tank real good since the sugar settles and fill it up. Good to go. On myth busters they tryed the ol suger in a gas tank and it did no damage, so of coarse they see what it takes and bleech definately does the trick.

I would love to buy a small 2/3 berth boat trouble is I know nothing about boats can you help?

Do this, take a beaker, glass cup, paper cup anything that will hold a liquid. put some unleaded fuel in it. Now add sugar. what will happen is the sugar will gel up. when it gels up it will get in to the filter and clog it up. It will also clog the fuel pump, pump sock, the float assembly, and if it manages to make it way to the injectors/carburetor it will destroy injectors and cause the carb to be completely gone though. Did someone put sugar in your tank? you have to pull the tank and have it flushed. flush all the fuel lines, possibly replace the pump and float system. and have the injectors/carb cleaned or replaced. this will cost a good sum of money.

What is the running gear on a boat? I tried to google it but I just got a lot of stuff about shoes?

NO, The fuel filter will stop it, GASOLINE has detergents in it and will dissolve ANYTHING ! it's a great parts cleaner, unfortunatly people use it in their basement or garage, the furnace kicks on, or someone turns on a light and "KA-BOOM", use diesel fuel for cleaning parts. I would flush out the fuel system with fresh gas, replace filter, and not worry about it

What are the booms for on large longliner fishing boats, such as the Andrea Gail? Is it for stabilization?

sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline. Don't take my word for it. Experiment.
