Oops...I got a little piece of foil in my gas tank.

I had read good things about the Chevron Techron Fuel Injector cleaner so I decided to put a bottle in my Maxima. I let the tank get almost empty as it said before adding the cleaner, and as I was opening the bottle, I think a little piece of the protective foil seal fell into the bottle, which naturally wound up in my gas tank when I poured it in the tank. I then went to the station and filled up as recommended.

My question...if that little piece of foil is in the tank, is that going to screw anything up or do any damage, or will it dissolve in the tank?

D'oh! D'oh! D'oh!

There's a pretty big screen in the tank which protects the fuel pump from items such as that. Don't worry about it, actually just forget it ever happened!
