Bleach. They did this one on mythbusters and Bleach did something to break
down the oil or something, but it killed the engine pretty quickly. Nitro as
in Nitromethane (Model Car Fuel) is not a bad idea but might be too
dangerous. I once put this in a weadwacker......it went really fast before
tearing itsself to shreds. But Nitro and Sugar are seem to be hypothetical
responses........What's Boston Bob doing filling engines with Coleman Stove
Fuel!?!?!?

My votes for Bleach in the oil and Coleman stove fuel in the tank.
