Dropped something in gas tank!

Drain the tank,use a wire and have some chewing gum at one end. Go fishing and use the gum side to stick the paper and pull it out.

try using chopsticks

Use a flexible claw tool. They bend, and grab, and are cheap as chips, probably cheaper these days especially if you live in Auckland.

ummm did you read the post you quoted?

[The Pastor]

thats why you freeze it.. DUH...

[wysper]

and the first bit - fill the tank with WATER might make it tough for the fuel to ignite.. however with the new hydrogen fuel vehicles... maybe you can't be too careful.

Put the cap back on it. Take the tank off and throw it into the harbour.
Follow it as it comes into shore. Watching someone pick it up, and get the note out thinking its a treasure map.
Then collect the tank from them.
