Help please, just done something really stupid.
I tried (in order to get some injector cleaner into the tank) to use a piece of plastic hose to hold open the antisyphon valve at the filler neck. When I tried to pull it out it caught on the lip and ripped off. About 3 inches of the hose has dropped into the filler hose to the tank. Car is running OK - do you think it will do any harm, is there a filter at input to the tank? Is it worth trying to get the assembly off from bottom of the tank?, I dont think there is an intermediate joint in the plastic filler hose to tank and Haynes doesnt say how to remove the body end.
(The offending item is the thinner end from one of those cheap syphons with a red bulb and two pieces of plastic hose for filling and sucking)

Thanks for looking.
