Daft mistake of the day?
Dipping my zippo into my fuel tank to refill it, dropped the bloody thing in the tank.

Guess I'll be fishing in there with a coathanger later then!

Sounds like something a backyard doctor from the 40's would say.

I used to dip mine in the tank of my Jawa.

50:1 premix. Takes five attempts to light then gives you a smoky yellow flame 8" high.

I never found mine that well on (un premixed) petrol either.

Try not to scratch the inside of your tank with said coathanger.

Better off using a magnetic pick up. Carefully.

This was my immediate thought, then I thought it might be more hassle than it's worth if it just kept sticking to tank instead.

Could be difficult if it's a brass one.

Still got to be easier than trying to hook it.
