In a fuel tank, that small spark would probably grow quite rapidly. You might like to try 'fishing' it out _CAREFULLY_ with a magnet on a fishing rod, but again, the magnet could cause a spark. Remember, if you do this that an empty fuel tank is more explosive than a full one. Full ones just burn, much less dramatic.
