Putting sugar in a gas tank will mean a trip to the garage since the sugar will ruin the gas filter and go into the engine.
Sugar in the gas tank will not cause the engine to fail because sugar does not dissolve in gas. It will get pulled thru the gas line and into the fuel filter(s) and depending on how much sugar is in the tank, will plug the fuel filter sooner or later. This will cause the car to stall or not stay running. You can either replace the fuel filters until the sugar is gone or get the car to a mechanic and have the gas tank removed and flushed out. This is not a do-it-yourself project. You could also drive the car to the mechanic and then have the fuel filter replaced while they are flushing the gas tank.

Sugar sits on the bottom of the tank like sand unless you have some water in the tank also.

Plugs up the fuel filter if the sugar makes it that far.
Someone probably put sugar in your gas tank.
No, sugar sits on the bottom of the fuel tank like sand unless there is some water present.
You'll probably smell that burning smell if your gas is burning right, try putting about a cup of sugar into your gas tank as a catalyst.WRONG!! Do not put sugar in your gas tank! This will likely ruin your engine!!
Replace the fuel injectors or clean them and replace your fuel filter. You may have to replace your fuel filter a few times. If you can, take your gas tank out and wash it with water. Sugar will not turn to sluge or 'cement' in your gas tank, actually sugar doesn't even dissolve in gasoline. It will however block your fuel injectors and fuel filter.
