martinp Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Dropped the plastic seal (that the the lid is attached to) from a bottle of valve master into my fuel tank filling up today. Annoying, but I don't think it will do any harm? Is this right or do I need to try to fish it out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fireman049 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi Martin ~ I would certainly fish it out. Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rien Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi, I did not start sleeping before he was out, he can block the suction connector, or eventually dissolve into a sludge-like gunk. Regards, Rien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roy53 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi Martin ~ I would certainly fish it out. Tom. Agree,out with it.a length of wire and twist the end to form a little basket, then great fun if it still floats ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Davidw Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Martin The same thing happened to me and directly caused my Bosch pump to fail. (I hasten to add that i did not see it happen but found it only when I completely dismantled thee tank end of the Fuel system.) I cannot over emphasis the importance of extracting this. A wire hanger might do the job. Or one of those extending claw tools which I think Frost do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuartmac Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 What's the harm, let is dissove slowly and "burn" it out?? or alternatively pull the tank (shouldn't take more than 15 mins) and tip it out (providing your tank is empty!) Just pulled the tank (following brimming it with Tescos finest) after discovering a dodgey outlet connection thats wrecked the interior trim panel and made the house (and me, and the car ) stink of petrol!!
