Someone telling me that a handful of moth balls would neutralize the gasoline.   Never tried it.
#12 of 13 test of sugar in gas by royallen Apr 16, 2002 (8:20 pm)
It is one week since I placed 10 cc of gas in a test tube and added 2 sugar crystals and the sugar is 100% in its original crystal form. My van is also operating normally with only a change of the fuel filter which contained no sugar.

The thing I would be most concerned with is some of the crystals getting past the filter. I don't know what engine heat would do to them, but I could imagine them acting much like grains of sand as they move through the injectors into the combustion chamber.
