If it is indeed aluminum wouldn't it be destroyed upon start-up and pose little risk to the engine? It should be no match for all the moving engine parts.

this is the tool I used
It works great for the tight areas of the 928 engine.
The ability to bend it at right angles is awesome.
It has saved me many times!
plus you can't beat this price

I dropped an 18" 3/8" extension into my fuel tank....
I was using it to hold open the fuel flapper as I poured fuel in. The fuel can I was using didn't reach it. I was lucky enough when I took out my fuel level sender that my hands/arms are small enough in diameter that I was able to reach into my tank and retrieve it with my fingertips..... Talk about a close call. This was before I realized that I would be pulling my fuel tank to have it cleaned.
