yeah, that would seriously be a problem in my case, since it's not a straight drop down into the tank from the toilet...... not sure what I would do.
guess i would keep my twist on valve in place at the discharge fitting, and hope that some day the spoon would lodge into the main black valve. The twist on valve would let me keep things shut off till I can drain the tank and disassemble the valve to reach in and get it.
The dowside I can imagine, is the thing lodgeing at the point where teh pipe joins teh tank, stopping flow so that the tank can't be drained..... ugh.
Might be worth finding someone with a plastic welder, to cut open the tank and then re-weld it.
or just thinking out loud, maybe just buy a good bulkhead fitting, that can be used to cap off the hole after fishing out the spoon.
