    Piece of plastic packaging blown into the tank

    Hi fellow aviators. I feel stupid as hell - but while fueling the wind blew a 1 inch piece of this plastic packaging into the open fuel nozzle of my PA28 tank full of AVGAS. Can't find it anymore :( As low hour newbie: what can happen and what to do? Greetings Bernd
