This is, at best, a myth. Sugar doesn’t dissolve in gasoline. There may be trace amounts of water in the tank too, but not enough to dissolve a meaningful amount of sugar. All it will realistically do is clog their fuel filter, the same way sand would.
I’m assuming this syrup is a thick aqueous solution of sugar, in which case it would settle on the bottom of the fuel tank without mixing with the gasoline. If it did get into the engine, it would likely clog the injector or carburetor, but it would likely just cause the engine to stall from fuel starvation, or blow the fuel pump’s fuse.
Oh, it just gums everything up. The fuel doesn’t combust as well, and the pistons get sticky, among other things.EDIT: I was wrong. It clogs the fuel filter, the same way sand would.

What about if you poured a considerable amount of syrup in there instead?
Thinking of giving it a Vermont Hello?
I don’t know what that is, but from context it sounds like something to do with syrup and jizz.

Maybe that’s the idea, then. My apologies.
Gasoline can be up to 10% ethanol now. Does sugar dissolve into that?
no
