First add some concentrated nitric acid. Then just a small amount of the sulfuric acid. Next, run away!
USE YOUR HEAD,MAN !! put the sulfuric acid in your neighbor's tank and see what happens....

NO! When working with Sulfuric Acid, never ever use your head. Use a glass or plastic bottle, beaker, or jar. Don't use any body part. It can leave some nasty scars.
In the early 80s, I worked with a fellow who decided it would be a good idea to throw some waste Methylene Chloride in the gas tank of his Jeep. One rainy night I saw him pull out of the parking lot and there was this huge vapor trail coming from his tailpipe. From the smell of it, the solvent decomposed into Hydrochloric Acid during combustion.
About a month later, his enire exhaust system started falling off in pieces from the rust.
I can only imagine what the inside of the crankcase looked like...

Sulfuric acid may in fact be used at the refinery. It would scavenge water. It might also be added to crude to react with unsaturated material converting the sludge precursors to sulfonates that would be easier to separate. I highly doubt it would solve more problems in a gas thank than it would cause. I liked the idea of putting it in the neighbors' tank and see what happens. Just don't get caught.
hmmmm, I wonder if muriatic acid might help with the throttle body and injectors.
It worked ok with the concrete sidewalk last week...
