How would I know if someone put water or sugar inside my car's gas tank?

My car broke down. It was running fine. I think someone I have a problem with put something in my gas tank. The mechanic told that the head gasket blew up and water and oil mixed up, but when i first opened the carburetor it was full of white looking stuff i guess it is a mixture of water and oil i think. the head gasket is fixed, but he is telling that he is still having a problem with the car and has to change the carbourator. How would I know if this person did something to my car?How would I know if someone put water or sugar inside my car's gas tank?IF IT WAS WATER THE CAR WOULD SPUTTER . IF IT WAS SUGAR THE CAR WOULD NEVER RUN AGAIN. THE SUGAR DISSOLVES IN GAS THEN GETS HEATED WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. AFTER YOU TURN THE MOTOR OFF AND THE CAR COOLS OFF. THE SUGAR RE-CRYSTALIZES AND CAUSES THE MOTOR TO SEIZE. THE HEAD GASKET BLOWING SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR GOT TOO HOT, LOW ON WATER OR OIL. SINCE YOUR STILL HAVING PROBLEMS SOUNDS LIKE IT MAY HAVE CRACKED THE HEAD.How would I know if someone put water or sugar inside my car's gas tank?Someone just blessed me with a car and its sitting in my drive way with a fake plate,hasnt been moved sence i got it,some crazy people that live upstairs down like me %26amp; dont even know me they are/ or have planned to put sugar in my tank.Can the tank be taken off before I run the car to see sugar?

A carbuerated car is different than a fuel injected. WHen you shut off the engine there is a bit of vacuum that can draw oil up into the carb and that can mess it up good.



If it is fuel injected like most post 1984 cars are ask him where the carb is.... then you can run....How would I know if someone put water or sugar inside my car's gas tank?Just dumping some packets of Sugar really does not do much damage to your cars engine. If someone really knew what they were doing...bye..bye engine. I'm not going into detail about HOW to do it.....there may have been something out in....but Carburetors can be cleaned and rebuilt...I just wonder why your guy is just replacing the whole thing ?
