Yep, I'm an idiot

Just got back from putting 1/2 tank of diesel into the Disco (yes, I'm rich too

)... so I removed the lid from the bottle of Chemtech, stabbed the foil underneath with my keys and started squeezing it in... when the foil disc suddenly came free and flew straight down the filler into the tank

.

So no BS, does the fact that a 7mm disc of foil is in the tank matter or not? Should I be stressing?

There is a bunch of filters in the fuel system, a gauze in the tank pickup and a fine filter in the engine bay... Nothing to worry about.

That's nothing it won't even get into the into the pickup.

My wife's old boss had his car keys dropped into his petrol tank by his little kid. Still there AFAIK.

And hopefully it wont matter either that the concentration of chemtech is 1,000,000 ppm...

Curses, foiled again

I hope it doesnt block the pickup in the tank.

Should have thrown the keys in for good measure,that way NO MECHANICAL DAMAGE IS POSSIBLE

Well if you'd bought the Defender you'd have a removable sieve in the filler neck and you could've just tipped it out.

So yes, idiot.

Cheers
