A bee went in my gas tank!!

**kasher_khan** · 10-04-2012 07:59 PM

So guys, I know this is really strange but as I was trying to fill up my car today at the pump, a bee went into the fuel hole on the top

. I waited for a few minutes for it to find its way back out but eventually I had to get going, and so was forced to fuel. So now I probably have a dead bee floating in my fuel tank. This is for my brand new car BTW (2013 S4). Should I put in STP or something to clean up the tank or will it decompose over time and just go away. Am I worrying too much over nothing?

Lololoolololloloolloololololololololololololol

I HAD TO!

**zamm3k** · 10-04-2012 08:16 PM

don't worry about it. Thats what the fuel filter and pump filter are for. It will most likely decompose over time. BTW... how the F does a bee just fly into the gas hole?

Bees are good for like 110 octane. Seriously I wouldn't worry

You "might" be able to suckup the bee using a siphon hose...

**DLAB** · 10-04-2012 09:43 PM

This is very dangerous. You should trade it in immediately and buy a bee-mer.

**ahcow** · 10-04-2012 09:46 PM

lol...you guys are cruel...

Funny-eeee

At least you have one up on other S4's ..... a sting in you tail;-)

**chev** · 10-05-2012 02:17 AM

i would rather go back to delaer immediately

**Ynnekdude** · 10-05-2012 03:57 AM

I wouldn't bee worried if I were you; The filter acts as a fine comb.

**PitchS4** · 10-05-2012 05:17 AM

I am not sure about the S4 but on most cars the intake for the fuel is actually like a sponge so idk that it will fit through that, and it defiantly won't fit through the filter. So no it won't cause any damage and it will probably break down over time.

I don't think a bee would get through the filter either, even a defiant one

Wow, I guess some people just shouldn't own a car.

Ha! Do bees give out their own Darwin Awards?

nice.

**kasher_khan** · 10-05-2012 06:59 AM

Ok, So I have to admit some of this is pretty hilarious.

**ENV²** · 10-05-2012 07:31 AM

The S4 is a BEEST .

Just be careful next time you go to fill up that it doesnt fly back out and sting you in the face. Ive seen crazier things happen when it comes to bees. they are pretty damn resilient

**GSS5** · 10-05-2012 07:35 AM

i'd be more concerned about the added curb weight of .001 lbs to your car.

**Ynnekdude** · 10-05-2012 07:47 AM

Do you get your gas at Bee-P?

I would use this one instead.

What a great way to go!

The tragically lost hymenoptere was no one else but the reincarnation of Mr. Huffman:

**Kem** · 10-05-2012 12:30 PM

My concern would be if the bee made it past the filter and into the fuel injection system. Then you'd have a bee in (under) your bonnet.

**Skyler@Achtuning** · 10-05-2012 01:10 PM

If it did clog up the fuel system that would be quite a buzzkill

**evanpm** · 10-05-2012 01:42 PM

Shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't be waSTING too much time worrying...

**Skyler@Achtuning** · 10-05-2012 02:11 PM

I could have swarm there was a TSBEE out on this

**Kem** · 10-05-2012 02:11 PM

Maybe you'll make more power if you convert you car to run on beE85.

**Arin@APR** · 10-05-2012 03:10 PM

I may bee late with my post but I don't get what all of the buzz is about.

Kashers bee8 swallowed a bee, hopefully the dealership will warranty the labor for bee removal to take the sting out of the costs

**Borti** · 10-06-2012 09:09 AM

I feel bad for that bee. Game over for him / her. Pretty sure the gas would break down / dissolve that bee pretty quickly so no need to worry.

This thread was definitely worth it though. Would read again.
