I have heard that putting sugar in my fuel tank may lead to my vans not working anymore. This is an outcome I am looking to avoid.

I use these vans to transport children, who I usually pick up from sites about a few miles out. I would be really miffed if those vans were disabled in such a way that they were not able to make it to those children.

Are there any other actions I should avoid taking with my vans? I really wouldn’t want to cause damage to them in such a way that they would fail before the children got inside them.

a can of Red Kote Liquid gas tank liner would be super bad to add to your vans with gasoline still in the tank, so be super careful when repairing your gas tanks with it.

Another thing to watch out for is making sure you don't mistake fiberglass resin (with any MEKP catalyst added) for gasoline, since that would be super bad too. It's an easy mixup to make, so definitely be careful when doing any fiberglass projects around the house.

Kinda off-topic, but I’ve never heard of red kote. I have blue kote (animal antiseptic spray that tints blue to avoid further damage from other animals), though.
