If you remove the extension pipe you migjt be able to get a grippy thingy down into the tank and pull up the bits. https://www.amazon.com/SE-860PT-Pick-Up-Tool-Prongs/dp/B000RB3KZ4/ref=asc_df_B000RB3KZ4/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=216548929909&hvpos=1o14&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1298565696105123565&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9061080&hvtargid=pla-350576078523&psc=1But maybe longerHappy fishing.

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?
