Gas cap compartment drain..

It seems the drain in my gas cap compartment in my E320 is clogged. When I wash my car, water just sits there. Anyone else have this problem and maybe a solution? Little uneasy about sticking anything down it.

If you have access to an air compressor blow some air down there.

Or maybe some pipe cleaners or a stiff piece of electrical wire (I'm thinking like one conductor of 14 guage).

Fishing line is what I would try. You don't want rip or bust the hose.
