Dropped a small rubber hose in PSTG resv

[blueeagle289]

I accidentally dropped a small (1 1/2" in length; 1/8" prox diameter) hose into my PSTG reservoir on my 99ML 320.

I was trying to lower the volume of PSTG fluid and the hose came off the end of the sucking tool.

Question is: Will that small piece of hose block the PSTG mechanism when it is running or will it move thru the PSTG module into the actual pump or into the exit hose. Getting it out is a major pain otherwise.

Please advise soonest; I don't want to run the car until I know.

Thanks, Ben Carter
