Object in the gas tank.

Hey all, had a little oopsy w/ my '96 Dakota.

The other day I was filling up my gas tank and was going to put a bottle of fuel line anti-freeze in the tank.

When I pulled the foil safety seal off of the bottle a gust of wind blew the foil seal into the tank through the filler.

I was able to drive the truck home.

Am I going to drain the tank and fish the object out of the tank or is this no big deal?

Any help would be appreciated.

Them foil seals are dimesized (?). Hopefully it'll settle to the corner. with all the other junk from over the years. The pickup has a screen or sock over it so it shouldn't get sucked up anywhere.

Ok that's good. Yeah the foil is dime-sized. I've had run of bad luck with this old beast lately and that's the last thing I need.
