Hopefully, there's a lesson here, to follow proper procedures when fuelling or checking tanks. Don't try to cut corners, Dot the I's and cross the T's. Don't entrust someone who's known to be not the sharpest pencil in the box.Sometimes, you just have to be blunt and make a pointed refusal to let them near.

Spoke to engineers this morning.
Pencil was floating just below the surface. Luckily after taxying a/c to hangar pencil was visible from fuel filler cap so was easily retrieved.
