I have very mixed feelings about that show on the occasions that I've seen it. The two guys are clever and creative, but they're not good scientists, frequently don't design good experiments, and don't often prove what they claim to prove.
In the case of the engine, I wonder if the sugar sat on the bottom of the gas tank and didn't get sucked up by the fuel pump to any large degree. I imagine the solubility of sugar in gasoline is low - also if the tank was large and the ratio of sugar:gasoline was low than maybe there wasn't enough to affect the large engine.
