Yesterday when I removed the gas cap preparatory to filling the tank the
cap came apart and both the spring and inner pressure plate fell into the
tank.
Since the tank is steel I am doubtful that I would be successful in
extricating the parts by fishing about with a long magnetic wand down the
filler neck.
Before removing the tank from the car and shaking it to get the parts out I
thought I would ask for opinions on whether this is necessary.
Given that the two pieces are made of steel what is the worst that could
happen?

Best--Michael Oritt
