    Help with fuel filler piece fell into fuel tank

    So i have a ford now. I had BMW 535 but had to sell.

    Other day I needed to fill gas with plastic tank, but something from the tip of the container ( small piece of plastic ) fell into the gas tank. So now when I try to fill up at gas station, the nozzle sensors believe the tank is full each time because of the plastic object inside the tank.

    First car shop already doesn't know what to do. What can i do?

    How long ago did you buy the FORD? and was it privately bought or from a dealer?

    Take it to a real shop. If the first shop doesn't know what to do, then clearly they are incompetent.

    Get a cheap bore camera and use a cable grabber and fish it out. Or pull the filler tube/hose and get it out.
