Other 196's:
NOTE: This thread concerns the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; not internal combustion engines.
Sugar in the gas tank will not ruin the engine, the most it will do is maybe clog the fuel filter.
Bleach on the other hand is an Oxidizer, it will cause certain metals to rust extremely fast....
This still assumes access to the fuel tank
We can work backwards and double down on this problem by making sure it remains inaccessible for as long as possible.
Ideally, you would want to weld the fuel hole shut, but that may be impractical. Depositing a cartoonish amount of very strong glue into the fuel cap cover can be a more realistic compromise.
Attempts to regain access may leave the fuel tank vulnerable where it can then be double tapped with bleach.
or just use a flathead screwdriver idk im high
Am I crazy or does everyone in the comments not realize they're talking about ICE the federal agency?
You're as sane as I was in 2019. Looks like 196 has more gearheads than Americans.
Well I understand. I've seen people say the same kind of shit talking about people's internal combustion engine cars. There are fanatics in Fuckcars and environmental communities.
There is nothing really in the screenshot saying it's about the agency.
To me, ICE is a high-speed train. I mean, I could look it up, check what it means in US. But at this point, I am not interested enough.
I though we were talking about German express trains.
Sugar in a gas tank is not nearly as damaging as just pouring water in it.
Or diesel, in a petrol car. It's a heck of a lot less suspicious to be pouring diesel from a fuel can than it is to be pouring a big ol bag of sugar.
Doesn't it just clog up the fuel filter because it won't dissolve in gasoline?
Bingo, and it takes a lot to clog the filter. Plain water is more of a nuisance.
You realize that's why they use mostly unmarked vehicles?
Or rentals depending on the area.
Law nerds: can ironical intent be proven in court?
Serious answer: The US gov is past using courts or caring what the laws says
Think the fbi has officially recognized the term "in minecraft" as possible real intent
Putting sugar in the gas tank does not work (unless in a movie). You can clog exhaust pipe or penetrate tire.
Bleach is corrosive and will bypass the fuel filter I've heard.
I'm surprised I haven't seen more calls to puncture the radiator. That would lead to the engine shutting off and being immobilized pretty quickly.
Yes and it's fast, and quiet in comparison to many other sabotage.
Water balloons + black oil paint + used motor oil + a handful of course sand = absolute hell on car paint, polycarbonate panes (think security helmet visors or those see through riot shields), and anything with feet that likes to walk around.
They make sand that isn't coarse, rough, and everywhere-getting?
They make sand that isn't course and rough.
Arguably the finer stuff is even better at getting into everything.
Put a BB in the valve stem cap. It's non-destructive, but will still result in a flat tire. If you super glue the BB, they might end up with several flats before they realize.
What would exactly happen if one woule pour sugar in the gas tank? Like on a chemical and mechanical level?
First time hearing about this
It's a myth perpetuated by people who don't know better. By all means, putting sugar in a gas tank is not advised because, well, sugar doesn't belong in there. But it will not ruin the engine. If it even reaches the engine, you have a pretty bad fuel filter.
Nothing. Sugar is not soluble in hydrocarbons and the particles would be caught by the fuel filter. You'd have to replace the filter and clean the fuel tank, but the engine would be fine. Might as well use dirt instead of sugar to achieve the same effect.
Well then you would uh... ice ICE's ICE.
bad dum tish!
Not really though, basically, it clogs up the fuel pump/filter.
Not likely to... immediately or quickly immobilize the vehicle... but it would increase maintenance costs, and decrease fuel efficiency and reliability.
...
If you wanna go for something uh... faster acting, more immediate and more serious:
A whole lot of water.
That'll make the engine choke and sputter and stall if you use enough.
So... use ice to ice ICE's ICE?
Uh... in minecraft?
...
Sand will also clog up the filter, and cause more damage inside the actual engine if any gets through the filter.
... A whole bunch of polystyrene packing peanuts would ... also be 'fun', rofl.
The way they chemically interact with gasoline... basically gellifies the gasonline, turning it into shitty, syrupy napalm.
I am guessing a very gooopy gasoline is... not going to help a car run well, please actually do not test this rofl.
I am not a chemist, but uh chat gpt says polystyrene + gasoline is an exothermic reaction... so that... generates heat... and gasses... and that could be bad... in a tightly sealed container...
😅
I find it interesting that these posts are dated 2019. I don't remember this being an issue pre-covid.
Well I mean the department of homeland security was established like one minute after 9/11 happened and thats who is in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, so they've been fucking around in the rights of US citizens and noncitizens since then
