Hi everyone

I have a good story. I was  topping off my tank for Winter storage when the the flexible plastic nozzle from my 2 gal gas can fill into the gas tank. What should I do, try and fish it out or not worry about it ? It fell into the rear of the tank I can't see it from the filler.

Unless you need it don't worry about it, the worst it could do is jam up the level sender.

  You can always try to fish it out with one of them long flexible grabber with the 4 prongs on it.

  You can also wait until the tank is emptier...

Yeah, I'd go through the sensor hole and fish it out with some tongs or something.

HI Everyone

Update on the gas can nozzle. I took the seat off and removed the gas tank sending unit and found the nozzle at the bottom of the tank and fished it out with a coat hanger. Thanks everyone for all your great advice. This is a great site.
