plastic or metal ball in gte tank?

[dan16v]

well ive been painting my gte tank up, and when moving it around i can hear either a small plastic or metal ball rolloing around inside is this there for a reason or has part of the level sensor fallen off inside? :?

I think some tanks had a plastic ball just in the filler neck (held in by a daft plastic cage) which stops petrol going up the filler assembly in corners, thats most likely what it is.

feck i recon that ball has been pushed through into the tank then! :lol:
