Sadly, I topped-off the 5.4 last night with a pre-opened jug that had a "hang tag" remnant left on the lip that sure-as- SH*T fell off and into the fill port  . It was maybe a half sq. inch in total area but long and slender. Please tell me that this will get caught in the filter or at the very least, dissolve  . This is the first time in 37 years that this has happened to any engine that I've changed oil in  . Thanks

If it makes it to the oil pan, will probably get stuck on the suction screen INTO the pump... Stay there forever. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

It will catch in the first place that has a smaller passage then it is. Years ago my Aunt cooked the motor in her car when her Auto Mechanic son topped of her overflow tank and let a piece of the foil fall in. It would let Anti-Freeze into the overflow tank when the car warmed up and then would plug the outlet when the car cooled off, thereby not refilling the radiator. That little piece of foil will still be intact when the next Ice Age comes. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

| I had a guy bring me his wife's car, he did the same thing. We pulled the pan, Plastic was sucked up to the oil pump screen. Probably would never have hurt anything. He didn't want his wife to know he dropped it. |

| Working HD Trucks saw LOADS of those on pickup screens in oil pans and the tin seals for Fuel additive in tanks or stuck in fuel lines/filter heads. Know several guys use it as a extra spill control valve to load the bottle neck into a fill tube then squeeze the jug to get flow, One wiped a engine with doing that. |

One of my D-14s started running rough... needed choke and it's 100 in the shade... ..dang no gas to carb.... after 2 hours of yank tank, clean it, sediment bowl looked OK, blow out gas line...still lousy... took sediment bowl off again... thought I saw something, na.... Ok, I did see something... it was a sliver of yellow in the inlet port.... WTH ???? all I can think is that it was a piece of plastic gas can nozzle that got shaved off poking spout into the tank filler hole. When ?? I don't know... but that is what stopped a D-14 !!! ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
