How to Get Something You Dropped Into a Cub Cadet Gas Tank Out
- 1). Step up onto the door platforms--the metal lips at the edge of the doors--to reach the top of the Cadet's wings. Unscrew the fuel tank caps.
- 2). Dip the fuel gauge stick into the tank directly down from the cap. Feel for the loose item. If possible, try to loop the item onto the gas gauge stick. Gently pull the item up and out.
- 3). Push the aircraft into the hanger or bring in a certified mechanic if you cannot get the object out. The mechanic will remove the airframe from the wing tank to get the item out of the tank and then run a test to check the engine and all fuel lines. You must have a certified FAA aircraft mechanic run these checks and do the tank work.
