you`ve been drinking it?
you must be in Glasgow?

are you positive its sugar? and not rust/ very old petrol residue?
clean everything out, chuck away the muck in the tank and fill up with fresh, try again

There is probably a stomach pump on Ebay.

Aaaaggghhh - I can't believe you even put it near your mouth to find out it tasted like sugar!! Good job they didn't put some caustic in there instead!!
