Hi, my 99' Cavalier was recently vandalized by a bunch of punks who peed in my gas tank, and god knows what else. The car worked fine for about a week and a half after the incident.

Well, first of all, the portion of gasoline in the volume of the tank decreases. Second of all, when the fuel containing sugar enters the engine, the sugar caramelises by the high temperature that is produced by the combustion process in the engine.
