Paper towel stuck in my Petrol Tank.
Today, I filled my Stiv7 up with Shell Optimax, but Accidentally over filled it slightly... so i got one of those free paper towels & mopped it up....however a small piece got caught on the petrol flap & got jammed. Try as I might I could not get the small piece out, the more I tried to lift the petrol flap the more the little piece of paper towel went further in.
Question is, will this do any damage to my car or will it dissolve & get lodged in the fuel filter??
You advise is a appreciated
Ps
I did get most of it out, only a small piece tore away as it was damp.

not 100% sure on the size, not that big, definatly not £5 size...much, much smaller.
I went to my local garage/mot centre & they told me it would be ok, but as its my pride & joy just wanted to ask you guys...

dont have to worry mate you have a fuel filter change it after a couple of tanks and make sure you use all the petrol in the tank and run it to red a couple of times then replace the fuel filter

Thanks guys for all your info.
I take it then from all the comments that it will remain at the bottom of the fuel tank until disolved? & will not do any damage.
