Default Sugar in my fuel system

In my other threads, "Engine problem" & "Electrical problem" I was trying to find out if other people knew what was going on with my truck, thanks for your help but I found out what it was,,SUGAR. As the people were draining the broken fuel pump they noticed something in the fuel, turns out it was suger. I thought my truck was a fuel pump killer, but it was all that damn suger, been in there for a while. Well its gonna cost me a pretty penny for them to do it, I can probebly do it myself, but Imma let them do it.

Not calling bs or nothing, but how bad are your problems... "I saw on myth busters" that sugar really wont **** up too much ****, just clog the filter and pump maybe. Im sure you could just drop the tank rinse it out really well, replace the fuel pump, flush the line to the filter and then replace the filter and be set.

I saw that show of Myth Busters, yea sugar wont mess up the engine, just some of the fuel system. I am sure that this was not my enemis I really dont have any, plus not too seem,,,you know, but this looks like a girl would do this. The guy I bought this truck from was going through a nasty divorce, so maybe or maybe not.
