you could try putting a cup of sugar crystals into the gas tank.......
If you suspect that someone put sugar in the tank of your car, the best thing to do is to make an appointment to have your filters cleaned at a garage. Sugar in the tank will not disable your car, this is a common myth, but like pouring sand into someone's gas tank, it might cause your filters to need cleaning earlier.
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.

Sugar
Plugs up the fuel filter if the sugar makes it that far.
Someone probably put sugar in your gas tank.
The sugar would lay on the bottom of the tank so the only way to know would be to remove the tank and remove the sending unit to gain access to the inside of the tank.
Just leave it. It will not harm your engine. Make sure your tank is full and drive. The gas will dilute and break down the syrup. Sugar and various other contaminants do no harm to engines, despite common beliefs.
No, sugar sits on the bottom of the fuel tank like sand unless there is some water present.
