What kind of damage can a 1995-2005 regular toyota pickup truck sustain if someone poured a lot of sugar, samt, raw eggs, cooking oil, milk, orange juice, ect... what would happen to the vehicles engine? Would the car blow up when igniting it? Can a toyota automotive technician please tell me. Pouring these stuff where the gasoline at the fuel station gets inserted... rsvp. Thank you.

It would just clog the whole system and not run.

But would it incur $$$ repairs?

If you tried to start it. Probably new fuel filter, clean injectors. Drain an flush the tank. Fuel pimp. Anything related to the fuel system will be needed to be leaned, flushed, maybe even replaced.

If no one tried to start the vehicle it would be a matter of dropping the tank and thoroughly flushing and cleaning, and a new filter would probably suffice.
But if one tried to start it now you've contaminated the fuel pump (which is in the tank), fuel lines and fuel injectors and everything else in the fuel system. A LOT more disassembly, flushing and cleaning. Cost coul run from a few hundred to a few thousand, depending.
