Lost a part, Help!!

[nemire12]

First of all, thanks in advance for any help you have to offer. I am posting on behalf of a coworker of mine who is working on an early 2000's Bombardier GTX for his girlfriends parents, get it??

This thing hasn't been run in a couple years and only has about 15 hours on it. He noticed the gas was a greenish color. So he decided he would drain the tank by disconnecting the feed line to the fuel distibutor assembly. Then when he turned the engine over he heard something fall down into the hull and we're trying to figure out what it might have been. Sorry if this a vague description but that's all the information I've got to work with. He doesn't know if it was metal or plastic but he will try to fish for it with a magnet tonight. But I would appreciate any suggestions if anyone has any ideas.

P.S. I'll try to attach of a diagram

Thanks.

It is more than likely the strainer that fell in the fuel tank #93. Happens all the time. Be sure to have a very good seal on the gasket on installation or it won't have enough fuel pressure.

Thanks Karl he's 99% sure what ever it was did not fall in the tank and the more we talk to people we're thinking #57 on the diagram came out somehow. I guess they call it a plug but we think it's more of a check valve. Any chance this is possible??

Uh...#57 is on the fuel rail....not even near the fuel tank from the diagram.
