Pee Pee in the fuel line, what to do??

I cauught some punk *** kids going around pissing in peoples cars last night one of them being mine. I haven't started it yet, and I know that could **** it up. Think I should take it to the shop and get them to flush my whole fuel line and tank out for me. Or should I not worry about it?? What to do.

Don't you just love 13 year olds...

Is this one of those things that you'll look back on and laugh?

Anyway, while you're at the auto store getting your locking gas cap, I'd think that using several cans of HEET should be able to "dissolve" (is that the correct word?) the urine into something burnable. Afterall, isn't that what it's supposed to do to condensation?

Depending upon how much urine was "introduced" into your tank, use an appropriate amount of HEET or similar condensation/water remover. I'd imagine you'd have to use quite a bit. Try to start with as full a tank of gasoline as possible to make the resulting "liquid" as weak or diluted as possible.

But don't take this advise as absolute. Just my opinion. Maybe someone will know if draining the gas tank (perhaps by one of the 13-year-old kids?) will be required.

Is it actually in the fuel line? I don't think it would hurt anything, but I would make a big deal out of it and make those kids siphon it out and buy you a new tank of gas or something. Tell their parents, "I caught your child urinating in my gas tank" LOL!

Yeah I was thinking about HEET, but I doubt there is much in there. When you said "one of them being mine," you meant your car, not your son.. right? =p

How much **** can a 13 year old squeeze out???? If he was doing it other gas tanks as well I doubt he would have much of a "present" for each gas tank. I'm a good bit older than those guys and I can't hold enough even after a long night of drowning myself with Coors light. Fill the tank up all the way and run the bitch dry.

Man, If I found some punk kids running around doing that and I found out that they did that to my car. I swear I would kill them. Maybe not kill them but I would definatly go to jail. You just don't do that and definatly not to my IROC!
Oh man, I'm pissed just knowing that **** happens.

Do you know who they are? Where they live? Man I bet you could get a **** load of money out of their parents. "Uh yeah, the material from your son's bladder caused the fuel injectors to explode ($230 for new Accel 24#-ers) and it ripped holes in the manifold ($400 for an Edelbrock piece). When the manifold blew up it took out my plenum ($100) and my throttle body ($300 for BBK 52mm) which proceded to fly through my hood ($450 for ASCD SS hood) and killed my parakeet. ( this is just for dramatic effect.) The massive vacuum leak caused by all those holes made the motor run so lean that it burnt holes in all the pistons ($500 - your choice of part) which then broke loose and flew through my heads ($1000 for AFR 190s or TFS). Oh yeah, my shifter **** is loose and my seats are stained from when I **** my pants. ($1000 for new 4th gen seats) And one last thing, I'm thirsty and would like a cafe latte, sweet and low, twist of lemon. And a bagel too."
That will teach 'em.

At certain times of the year, gasoline right from the pump has more water in it than those little pissers can produce.

It's not the water content of urin that I would be worried about, It's the small crystalline structure left over form evaporated urin that would be the bane of the engine. This chemical found in urin is known as "urea"

Just like sugared gasoline, when the urin is passed through the combustion process of the engine, there are certan parts that won't burn. The urin, during the high heat and compression of combustion, will rapidly change from an amorphic state to a state of minute solid structures. These urin "crystals" are what would have an effect on your engine.

Now, depending on whether or not the kids were sufficiently hydrated or not will determine how saturated their urin is with the matrixes to form crystalline.

But, Unlike a pound of sugar in 16 gallons of gasoline, I don't believe that 13-year-old boy urin, even if the child is in a state of dehydration, has enough urea content to cause damage to your cylinder walls. Not only that, but I'm willing to bet that the kids got more **** on the front of their pants than in your tank considering you have an anti-splashback door on the front of the filler neck opening.

To make a longer story longer, I wouldn't worry about the pee too much, but don't tell the kid's parents that. See if you can get some money out of them. Hell, It wouldn't hurt to get your tank drained and flushed anyway...Good preventative maintenance for the years of crud that may have found it's way in there.

I like irocbsa's idea, then if that doesn't work and the parents blow you off, i would catch the kids and pee pee on them. Or you could take a poo poo on the hood of their parents car and see how they like that, just kidding . hey, could you let us know how you make out, later

LOL... To agree somewhat with Steve, depending on just how much Pepsi the kids downed, I doubt there is any sufficient amount of urea in the tank! The percentage of urea in urine is relatively low... then you dilute it a thousand fold with gasoline... You may be looking at 0.000001% give or take.

Besides look at it this way, urea is 1 carbon, 1 oxygen, 2 nitrogens, and 4 hydrogens I believe... I just wouldn't get e-checked soon because your NOx or CO levels may go up a hair.

Just cuz they pulled your gas cap off doesn't mean it went into the tank. They would have had to hold that little flapper valve thingie open while they pissed, which means they would have had to **** all over their hand to get it into the tank. I'm willing to bet none made it in.

I was thinking the exact same thing Jim. Either that or they stuck their pecker in the filler tube. Thats would be ballsy.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHH....we've got too much time on our hands talking about pee and all...

You know what would have been funny? Like mentioned earlier, that little anti-splashback flapper could have trapped a little kid by his weimeriner!!!....That'd be a lesson he'd never forget!!...

Gasoline will not dissolve sugar, it just sits in the tank unless picked up by the pump/siphon.

And probably more so when they got caught.


Personally, I would sit down with the parents and come to terms that would make either the kids themselves pay, or do 'community' service on your property. Be creative. Teach them what it takes to properly maintain a vehicle.

I like that idea.
Y'all do have way too much time on your hands. Talking about the checmical makeup of ****. Sheesh.

Oh yeah, you need a new gas tank and a fuel pump too. As well as a new rear end since the fuel pump blew up and shot through your axle tubes. ($2000 for a Ford 9", you can give that to me since I'm so damn smart and gave you the idea in the first place. )

We're talking microscopic particles here, if anything, urea is thinner than gas. If the fuel filter was that efficient then it would stop the gas from flowing before it stopped the ****.
