Here's one I have never heard of ... I had a couple of extra gallons of diesel in a small portable fuel tank and figured I would put them into my boat so they would get used (before too much time went by). As I was putting the fuel in the plastic nozzle on the end of the tank literally slipped off and went straight down the fuel pipe, presumably into my tank. We're going to disconnect the fuel hose at the tank side tomorrow just in case it's in the hose (there is a slight curve from where you put the fuel in to where it enters the tank so maybe it's in the hose - but I doubt it), unfortunately I have a feeling it's probably in the tank. Assuming so, anyone have any experience with anything like this? Would/will it likely cause problems? I'm thinking it would probably float, but even if if sinks I'm not sure what the worst thing is that could happen - perhaps it could clog the fuel flow going out of the tank or get caught in the sender somehow? Any simple/clever suggestions on getting it out assuming it's in the tank and not the hose? Or am I stuck with it in the tank forever unless/until a problem happens (and if so what are the odds of it causing a problem)?

Jason
