Desparately seeking advice following a slight accident at the weekend. I have been running my 3.5 V8 for about 10 years now with no trouble at all. I regularly used Millers VSP as my fuel additive, but on visiting my local motoring shoppers den i found that they were all out of stock and purchased some of Wynns 'pink' lead substitute on the recommendation of the proprietor. No complaints about the product .... but there was a small disc on top of the bottle (not sure if it was material or paper based). The moron writing this post failed to remove said disc before pouring the required amount of additive into the tank and thus ended up with additive and disc in the petrol tank. So, not being an expert in fuel tanks, filters or fuel systems, my questions are
a) how big a problem is this?
b) will the disc just float around, disintigrate, block the fuel pipes, damage the engine?
c) if i need to do something - what should that be and is it difficult?
d) can i risk driving the car?
I'd hate to damage the car, but dont have the knowlegde or exerience to know what to do. The tank is now full of petrol.
Any advice would be gratefully recieved,
With embarrassed thanks in advane,
phil
