And exactly how much molasses did your soon to be ex-wife instruct the kid to pour into your fuel tank? If nothing else keep it topped off with full tank of fuel and expect to be changing fuel filters constantly for a few weeks. And with respect to engine damage, worry about injectors and the injector pump before anything else.

just for *****s and giggles, i just poured a little dark amber blackstrap molasses into a quart of diesel. it mostly went straight to the bottom but some mixed in as it was falling down through it. i can see on the bottom of the bottle that the two are reacting with each other. i have to leave for work in a few, so im gonna let it sit and see what happens with it overnight.

Great. Can you report your findings back here tomorrow? I am not doing anything else to my car until I hear your report.

Interesting consequences!

So if I understand this correctly, you fooled around and next morning had a four-year-old? That'll teach you!

Did I tell you about the time I stuck a running water hose up the tailpipe of my Dad's Chevy?

I am unmarried, so no harm done there.

The injectors will probably get kinda gunky. Damn.

Condoms definitely clog filters.
