Will Putin Invade Ukraine?

Maybe it wasn't sugar? I don't know what powder would do the trick, though, having never been a sabateur. Flour? Baking soda?

I'd imagine sugar does its best work if they run low on fuel and start sucking near the bottom of the tank. I noticed with all of our boats that the fuel line sucks from a good 1.5" up off the bottom, and for a good reason. An older 2-stroke engine gets its oil mixed in with fuel so if one carb has fuel and the other is partially clogged and starved, those starved pistons will heat up and tear that engine to pieces.

Possibly.  Or powdery snow.  Water in the fuel tank is no beuno.
