OK..I ran into a low gas situation while far from a marine gas station but close to a land gas station. I bought a cheap plastic gas tank to transport the gas. WHile I was pouring in the cheap-ass gas nozzle came off into the intake and is now in my main tank. I have a 1998 Grady Voyager. Should I be worried?

Unless you think you can suck it thru the pickup tube. No! It's not a problem.

If it's not stuck in the fill hose before the tank causing a restriction, leave it there. You'll forget it ever happended.

If you replace the sender one day, you can look for it and fish it out.

Depending on how long the piece is I doubt it will make it all the way into the tank. The elbow by the tank will probalby not let it pass, if it makes it all the way through the hose. Were there any other small parts that might come off the nozzel?
