Ok, I'm an idiot. Went for a ride today and topped off the tank with good ole premium and a little Stabil. Oh yeah, you know the little foil/cardboard "seal" you have to pull off a new bottle of Stabil? Yeah, that's now in my gas tank. So question is, pull the tank and get that out of there immediately or can it wait?
Oh I'm chuckling at that... It won't get sucked out the fuel pump cause it's so large but it might clog it a bit when it dissolves. I think I would grumble some and then pump out as much gas as I could and then pull the tank and the pump to find it.
That is, *IF* it dissolves. I mean, it is designed to hold back petrol-like chemicals....If it dissolved it's gone, if it doesn't it's too big to get sucked up on to small to plug the sock. I wouldn't worry about it.
oh don't be a Nancy. what's it going to hurt?"There I was" passing a semi, WFO, engine stumbles, wham. You also have the middle of know where heading to meet that hot blonde and, well you get the idea.
oh don't be a Nancy. what's it going to hurt?
It's super bowl day!!
Might I suggest taking a gas can and a piece of hose (preferably larger than the piece) and siphoning out the gas hoping to suck up the offending object? Move the hose around the tank hoping to pick it up. If that doesn't work Fuhgettaboutit! It wasn't meant to be! Like others have said, ride it!
