Hi Ben,
There is danger of grave engine damage...seized and bent 
valves and in some engines, broken pistons.  Tank should 
be boiled.  I don't know about the rest of the fuel system 
but the harm is done when the sugar cokes up the valve 
guides.  I have personally seen this happen within ten 
miles.  It may be necessary to disassemble the head(s) to 
 properly clean the valve stems and guides.

Roverly,
Kent K.
