What to mix with petrol to guarantee engine death?

[vladcjelli]

Did they have CCTV back then?

How about candles?

"Waxing" used to be a problem with diesel in cold weather, they formed in the cold pipes etc and bunged them up.
A strong solution of 'candle' might look like normal petrol, and even when added to a part full tank would reduce the octane quite a lot.
Poor/failed ignition, or at best some very smokey, smelly exhaust and a blocked catalyser?

You do realise how old this thread is? That aside, how would you keep candle wax liquid in fuel (unless it melts it at room temp)?

[fatjon]

silicone based car polish, a good splosh of diesel, some lumps of bitumen small enough to dissolve quickish. Billows of Smoke, fked lambda sensors and with luck the scrote won't get far so you can use any spare petrol to have some fun.

Wasn't me that restarted it!
What happened GBaffer?

A company I worked for had a similar problem with jars of petrol going missing. They mixed brick acid with a jar and left it out in the open and it was gone the next day. I don't know what happened but that was the last petrol that went missing.

Brick acid. Used for cleaning hardened cement off tools. Im not 100% sure but I think it's based on sulphuric acid.

Holy old thread Batman.
You need something soluble in petrol, i'd be using engine cleaner, practically undetectable and would go right through the system.

So what was added to the fuel 7 years ago and did it work?

Bleach, it'll completely ruin it.

Really What does it do?

Leaks past the cylinder rings and stops the oil being a very good lubricant and as it turns into a gas it destroys the valves.

How long do it take for the engine to stop working with the bleach

Long enough for you to run away and hide.

I really feel with these types of thread, tht the OP should be made to leave full names, addresses, phone numbers and employment details. And made to sign a disclaimer that if they dont deliver with in a specified time we all go round their house until they do.

I'm still waiting to see if the beep is being emiited from a secret Nazi tunnel

A few years ago my mother's landlord put bleach in my mother's car , my husband's van and my truck. The van made it a mile , the car made it a mile and half n my truck stalled when I was warming it up....long story short....dropped gas tanks cleaned them and the mechanic just kept hitting the accelerator to get the bleach out of the engines. I'm still driving my truck to this day. All three vehicles survived the bleach. So don't count on bleach to seize the engine. If u catch it like we did the vehicle can be saved.

[HandymanNme]

I was thinking about a ping pong ball. Every time u accelerate the ball will clog the line ...then when u let off gas ball will drop back n then when hit gas again clog line again. I'm curious to know if that would work. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I would like to find something that will seize the engine beyond repair.... Bleach isn't the answer n neither is sugar...

[paintman]

Fuel is normally drawn from the lowest point of a fuel tank via the pick up tube. A ping pong ball floats.

I would suggest a hungry Rottweiler that is a little bit angry.

My friend had his garage broken in to on a very regular basis so he slept in there with a big chain and his grumpy German Shepard. It worked pretty well but he is now bound over to keep the peace as he gave them quite a pasting but claimed they were a little clumsy and fell over a lot whilst he tried to hold them.
