Snake in gas fill

Went to add gas today and opened the cap, turned to the pump and grabbed the nozzle and when I turned around a dang snake maybe 7 inches long dropped down in the fill.
I tried to add gas anyways and it kept kicking off like when it is full. So came home and disconnected the rubber hose from the tank to the fill tube but no sign of it.
I tried using my long 3 prong grabber into the hose going to the tank to see if I could grab something but no luck.
Haven't tried to add gas again but my concern is the dang dead snake is gonna plug up/block the pickup at some point.
Do I need to drop the tank and drain it?
It's a 2020 full size Tundra.

Thanks a lot.

 

What the fuck

 

I think this thread wins the title of most unique posting.

Open the fill cap, hang a mouse from the door of the gas tank and wait.

 

Hahaha whoa! That's worse than Snakes on a mutha truckin' plane!

You need to drop your tank and NOT run it until than...petrol will decompose the snake fast and clog injectors, filters et Al! I've never heard of this occurring before but we wish you luck!

 

This is a first....dropping the tank seems to be the best option if the mouse doesn't work or Spam

 

OH my dear god.... I thought I have bad luck.... Stay away from me.

 

What i want to know is, did you have the snake around your neck or in your sleeves? Where could it have possibly been hiding to reveal itself, snake its way into that tiny gas filler hole and go all the way in in the 4 seconds it takes to grab the nozzle of the pump?

Shens...

 

That’s a pretty amazing bit of bad luck.
Yes, you need to drop the tank, drain it, rinse and clean it thoroughly, then reinstall it.
The snake certainly died instantly from fumes or the gas. The gas will begin to break down the carcass pretty quickly. The pump suction may plug, but probably not before the crap gets to the injectors. I would not drive it until the tank is cleaned

 

May be able to get act of god coverage from your insurance on this too. Like those commercials that say allstate covers that when something completely off the wall happens.

 

Hell, they might even make a new commercial for this one.

 

I say put it in haul ass and drive it. Might bump up the octanes.

 

that move only works if you're driving a Viper

 

is it possible the gasoline will completely dissolve the snake? If coke can eat an entire penny over time, shouldnt gas be able to do the same to a snake?

 

I went as Mayhem to a halloween party in my 20s. It was a terrible idea, I broke so much shit. Things escalated quickly.

 

Nice, years back i dressed as Jake, from statefarm. People thought i just got off work from Target, so I added a nametag that said Jake lol

 

Strangest post of 2022 so far

 

Its gonna be hard to top this one honestly.

 

Adding this to the list of “Reasons I Don’t Like Snakes”

 

Thanks for all the answers and flack. you can't make this crap up

I thought there was something between the fill and the tank that prevented a hose or something to prevent siphoning....and was hoping it got stuck there.

Damn!

 

WOW!!! Dang sorry that happened!!

 

Maybe Hulk would have been more appropriate?

 

Throw some sweet flute music on the stereo:

 

I thought there was a little spring loaded door there to prevent stuff from falling in, but a snake could push through it pretty easy.

 

What if momma is under the seat or under the dash?
