Drop an 8mm nut into gas tank?
During coilover install, I unscrewed the 8mm nuts that hold the fuel line.
Then, I accidentally dropped one of the 8mm nut into the fuel line
I tried telescopic magnet to pick it but it went too far ; I think it is all the way down in the gas tank.
should I be worry and try to flush it out?

while installing a fuel pump into my friends evo, he dropped 2 bolts in there.. we just rolled up our sleeves and picked them up with our hands (after washing them) and then we also washed our arms afterwards.
no problems with his car, haha.

uh.. Called the dealer or something and ask what the worse case scenario on that.
PS. a lesson learn when doing suspension, cover the fuel tank.
Good LUCK man!!!
If I were you I probably go ballistically krazeee out of my mind...

i'm not sure what the material of this gas tank is... automobile manufactures are running plastic tanks or material that cannot generate a spark during a collision. i wouldn't worry about it getting sucked up. there is a filter for the fuel pump and a fuel filter itself. at least that was the setup on my del sol.
i would try to get it out because it would cause me sleep deprivation.

I wouldn't worry. The hassel it would be to get it out would not be worth it. The fuel pump has a sock filter on it so no way would it get sucked up. You could take out your covertible top tray and take out the fuel pump assembly and drop a magnet on a line in there to get it out if it is really worrying you.
