i ran out of gas the other day and I used one of those 2 gal gas cans...well when I put the gas in the car I realized the plastic tip from the gas can fell inside the tube that feeds the gas tank. What or how can i take that out? I tried putting gas in my car yesterday and it took forever because it seems to me that the tip is stuck somewhere in between the tank and the filler opening creating a clogged drain effect, the gas goes in but real slow, any suggestions...help?
 
I would take that in to the Nissan dealership and tell them what happened. You don't want to try to fool around with that yourself. And it's not like you can reach in there.

Maybe... since plastic floats, if you fill the tank until it starts to overflow just a little, it'll come out? That seems like it might work, but the bigger part of me is thinking that was a bad idea I just suggested.
