Bleach, in the radiator mythbusters did this one, sugar won’t even slow down a modern engine, water is kind of shitty but you can just drain it and restart. Bleach in the radiator will age the engine by a decade for every 10 minutes its running.
That’s also what concrete delivery guys use to stop the mix from curing in the hopper when their truck gets delayed or breaks down. (Well, more specifically, soda – not sure if the carbonation is also significant.)
Its the sugar, it slows the curing of the concrete but doesn’t stop it entirely. Over about 2% concentration by weight it begins to affect the strength of the finished concrete though.
Sugar in a gas tank will only really clog the fuel filter. Sucrose doesn’t dissolve in gasoline. Water in the fuel would be more harmful than sugar.
Mothballs.
Or squirt super glue in the locks.
Sand+oil+paint mixture on the windows.
Stuff the radiator full of dryer lint.
There is no shortage of ways to cheaply and quickly fuck up equipment.
We used JB Weld in door locks. No getting that off with acetone.

Acetone fucks your paint up, which probably costs more than replacing the lock.
So a bottle of sugar water, got it.

Can’t find that one – did you mean bleach in the oil tank?
