A small pebble and a few small pieces of plastic are in my fuel tank!

I was dumb and ran out of gas yesterday in my 2018 Jeep Compass. When I was trying to get gas in my tank with a couple of gas cans, I was struggling to get the nozzle through both "flaps" needed to get the fuel in the tank. On the way to doing this, a small pebble (about 1/4 inch diameter) and a few small pieces of plastic from a clothes hanger (about 1/4 inch wide and an inch long) made their way into the tank while I was trying to prop open both flaps while my friend poured gas in. My mechanic said that if it were his car, he would do nothing since there should be a screen keeping any and all crap from getting to the fuel pump. Not to mention that fishing those tiny things out of there would be time consuming and expensive.

Just wanted some affirmation from people more familiar with Jeeps that doing nothing in this situation is the right call.

 

Dropping the tank to drain and remove those pieces will probably be expensive. Hopefully the pieces are large enough to not cause a problem. Test a piece of the remaining plastic coat hanger in a container of gasoline for a period of time to see if it gets soft, dissolves or breaks apart.
