AMERICA F-YEAH!!!
SAGINAW, Michigan (AP) -- A Michigan man has learned not to stick his fingers in certain places. Victor Harris, of Saginaw, Michigan, was pouring a fuel additive into his Lincoln Navigator sport utility vehicle Thursday when a piece of paper fell into the gas tank. Harris tried to fish the paper out, but his index finger became stuck in the gas tank.
WJRT-TV reported Harris tried to extract his digit for two hours before friends called the fire department. It took another two hours before emergency responders cut the gas tank tube out of the vehicle.
Doctors later removed Harris' finger from the tube. He received two stitches.
Harris said he's learned his lesson and won't put his finger back in the gas tank.

I would've just had a buddy go buy an eyeglasses repair kit, and use the really small flathead screwdriver to squeeze it in there with my finger and push the splash flap back.
But then again, I'd let the paper fall in, won't hurt nothing.
Stupid humans, lol

A definite X2 on that one.... a small bit would simply dissolve in a full tank...and may not even F-up your fuel filter....and even if it did...I would certainly take the small task of replacing the damn thing than get my finger stuck in filler tube any day of the week..lmao
