Sugar clogs the screen in the fuel pump pick-up. If it gets past that screen it will clog the fuel filter. Since sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline, what stops the car is the clogging of the fuel. With enough sugar, the blockage can be instantaneous. The pummeling you will receive for putting sugar in the person's gas tank will follow shortly afterward.
