Fuel filter?

Some ass dumped some soda in my tank. Is the fuel filter in the tank also.

 

Yes. The only fuel filter is in the tank.

 

That's fucked. People suck. Sorry to hear that OP.

 

I think it was a very small amount. Should I be worried?

 

How small? If it's 4 ounces it might be fine. If it was 2 litre bottle you better dump the tank.

 

Fill up the tank and dilute it.

 

My neighbors interrupted him so I think it was very little. Isnt the fuel filter a lifetime?

 

The fuel filter is part of the fuel pump.

 

Ok so worst case I change the pump.

 

If it's soda then it's probably corn syrup and you should be OK. The main thing about granular sugar in the gas tank is it doesn't disolve and it will plug up your fuel filter inlet. Wose thing that can happen is it burns your fuel pump out.

You should be ok, hoss. Just drive it like you stole it for a while

 

Will do thanks

 

...and get a locking gas cap. They're like $10-$15!!!

 

Sugar doesn't burn cleanly. That's the problem. It will leave hard black carbon every stroke until it builds up enough to seize the motor.

Sugar in the gas tank doesn't clog a fuel filter. It blows up engines.

 

And easily cheated with a flat bladed screwdriver...
But is an ounce of prevention....


Sorry OP... Hoping for the best!

 

Ummm, why do you have locks on your house, car doors, safe deposit boxes, gun safes, or handcuffs then.... you should just leave everything unlocked.

it's just like the hose clamp mod for your tailgate, everything can be defeated, you're just trying to make it more difficult for a-holes.

 

Who did you piss off? If it is someone just looking to destroy other peoples crap for fun they should be removed from society.

 

Well I only made it a block before my 2014 died. Like it ran out of fuel. So now Do I have to take the bed off to drop the tank?

 

And the guy that did it is Demarcus Ledent. If anyone knows his wherebouts please let me know so I can thank him properly.

 

Tf?

 

Pop or sugar
