How do you remove a frog from a gas tank?
So this happened.... My wife Ildi went to fill up her Pathfinder and upon removing the gas cap... a frog was staring at her. She tried to get it out but he was already half way inside the filler neck and the opening. How he got there... I do not know. Long story short... she had someone try and help her to remove it and the frog decided to slide his way into the gas tank. I removed the wheel and wheel liner... I do not see any exposed openings to where or how the frog would've gotten behind the gas filler neck and still be alive and alert to make eye contact with my wife. Make it make sense.... Pics below...

I thought it was going to be a joke when i read the title lol. Sadly may ways to remove it but will probably kill the poor frog. Maybe a bent coat hanger and try and gently pull it out

Well if the frog dies in the extraction process at least he'll die high as a kite on gas fumes.

My guess is it was some sort of prank on whoever went to get gas Maybe it was thought the frog would jump out or something...Halloween....teenagers....or kids goofing around.
(Who hasn't put airplane glue on a frog and lit it off when you were a kid??...lol) Anyway, I'd investigate to see whos snickering about it...lol...good luck! |

Get him to eat a bolt then use a magnetic pick up tool. J/K
Force him down he will dissolve...he is as good as dead from the fumes now anyway.
