Hi All,
Whilst refuelling from a jerry can yesterday I made a makeshift funnel from a plastic bottle and (stupidly) 'secured' it to the body using a small piece of duct tape to be able to lift the jerry can with both hands.
Long story short, the piece of duct tape dissolved with the diesel and went shooting down into the fuel tank. It's only a small piece - about the size of two postage stamps (or approx. 2x2 inches)
I'm what you'd call a beginner when it comes to defenders - I've only had it around a month (1988 110 3 door 2.5n/a) and have neither a workshop/ garage nor all the correct tools. Should I be looking to drop the fuel tank and clean it out or do you think I might be able to get away with leaving it and hoping that the fuel filter does it's job and that the remaining plastic doesn't clog the pipe?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Phin
