Ouch! At least my mech isn't going to charge me for labor? He said he'd instal it for free.

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought about that, but just draining the tank and turning it upside down would probably do the trick too. But my mech said not to even bother. The screw is light enough not to damage anything, and the mesh screen at the outlet won't let it pass through to the fuel valve. I certainly won't hear it move around. Besides, I'd worry that any remaining gas might dissolve some of the Blu-tac. That might make things even worse.

At least your situation isn't like one fellow I was told about. He heard people were bringing their Harley gas tanks in to the sandblasting shop and sandblasting them, so he thought he'd do the same with his Honda gas tank. Big mistake. The tanks on the Honda bikes (at least at that time) weren't metal.
