What happens if you put soap in your gas tank?
When you put a detergent (or soap) in an oil (like gasoline), it attaches to the oil & any water nearby (which liquid shampoo already has). If a little oil is poured into the gas tank of a car, it burns up in the engine cylinders, causing the car to produce blue smoke and run roughly until the oil is gone.

What happens if you mix soap with gas?
What I did find was that powdered soap when mixed with gas is used as an explosive by some, i.e., napalm, etc… My conclusion would be to say that maybe the powdered soap will only make the gas burn quiker and hotter. Can anyone give me other info? I do not want to remove the gas tank, unless I have to. Ed_Cadalzo July 5, 2016, 6:41pm #2
