    Happened to me in my old 95 f350. Assume it was a guy I fired. But no evidence unfortunately

    Sugar does not coagulate in gas.
    • "For a liquid to dissolve a solid, the molecules of the liquid and solid must attract one another.
    • The bond between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms (O–H bond) in sugar (sucrose) gives the oxygen a slight negative charge and the hydrogen a slight positive charge. Sucrose is a polar molecule.
    • The polar water molecules attract the negative and positive areas on the polar sucrose molecules which makes sucrose dissolve in water.
    • A nonpolar substance like mineral oil does not dissolve a polar substance like sucrose.
    Gas does not contain polar charged molecules and there for cannot absorb sugar [2].

    Here here! I think we should execute people who cut me off on the HWY, that dude that let his dog piss on my grass, and that girl that picked a flower in my yard. boom-Boom-BOOM!

    What heaven on earth if we could drop those who break the norm.

    Let me know how that works out for you. Say hi to that business owner for me as well, you both will be in the same place.

    And here I am wishing I could get rid of my locking fuel door. I'm in Jersey though where we can't pump our own gas (fine by me) but it means I have to hand them my key and then they jack up the key trying to wrench the shit out of it in the lock because they don't know how it works. Key is bent and cracking. Just last week I tried to get another copy made. 6 attempts later, I've got 1 key that sorta works in the ignition but doesn't work on the crappy door locks or fuel door. So basically useless.

    I need a key-less fuel door mod.

    Must be nice. Houses where I live with a garage (even the very old ones) start at $750k. New town homes with garages start at 950k. So no garage for me.

    Same here! In Colorado, the standard garage is 19’-19’8”, and some are even smaller.

    I had to take a tape measure with me looking at homes to fit a 14 Tacoma longbed and a 1 ton diesel. We turned down no less than 50 homes due to the garage measurements.
