so here's my question - what additive could you pour into the gas or oil that would destroy or disable the engine, at least for the weekend ?

i want something that would shut the engine down for at least the weekend.
i don't want the engine to still crank or operate (and make noise), or be repairable to the average person.
i want something that's not obvious that it's been sabotaged. no need to kill or be killed over this.

sugar doesn't work; mythbusters proved that.
a disconnected hose or wire could be easily repaired.
water in the tank can be easily fixed.
stopped up air filter can be easily cleaned.

you'd need something that would either -
hopelessly clog up the carb (not just the filter),
melt the fuel line, and/or catch it on fire (delayed, not immediate),
overheat and/or seize up the engine.

interesting ideas, but not what i'm looking for -
.308 into the engine.
12 ga. into the neighbor's campfire.
dropping a large tree right on top of it.
blasting cap taped to the muffler.

anyone got any good ideas ? or bad ideas ?
