so me and my buddy were changing the gas cap on my f4i and i walk in the house to grab some water and come back outside and hes like "oops".

apparantley he had dropped one of the screws into the gas tank...

how can i get this thing out?! how bad will it mess stuff up if i cant get it out? i mean i guess i could take it to the dealership and get it out but damn i dont want to pay all that money. any ideas?

 

Throw the tank away and buy a new one.





Kidding....get a magnetic tool

Magnetic tool or you could turn it upside down...

 

thanks guys. i ran next door and grabbed the magnetic tool and it worked.. it was hell trying to find the screw though haha, like the magnet kept sticking to the side of the tank before it even made it to the bottom, then i had to kind of fish around for the screw.

well, now that thats over, see yall on the street. thanks again guys

 

What gas cap did you put on? Pics?

 

yea oops when working on a vehicle is never usually a good thing

 

"Oops" is ok. Usually mean something minor.

It's when you hear things the profanity filter won't allow here is when there's trouble. Cause then you know you ****ed up big time (snapping a carb needle, stripping a plug thread, etc"

 

well i suppose you are correct i can actually vouche for that one being a mechanic in the army and all lol
