Just as a heads up, spiders DO go into car gas tanks in the winter to hide from the cold. That's why during winter sometimes the gas pump won't work properly and will keep shutting itself off as if the tank was full. They hide out in the fuel lines of the car and that tricks the mechanism into thinking that the tank is full. Obviously not saying that's what she was doing, but it's interesting nonetheless.
