Gas tank problem

While filling the tank on my 09 xp550 the plastic bendable filler nozzle fell off the gas can into the gas tank. Its about 5 inches long and weighs a couple of ounces at most. What kind of problems am I looking at?

Could you use some tongs to retrieve it?

The next time you roll your ATV upside down, take the gas cap off and it should fall right out. Seroiusly though I doubt the thing will cause any problems if you do not want to take the gas tank off and shake it out.
