What is this?

  I found this in my tank. What is it? Why is it? It's not magnetic. I played hell getting it out but now it's out and I'm scratching my head.

It's an Italian suppository, also known as an "innuendo ".

Seriously, I've not a clue?

[bemusedinsojo]

It's kinda phallic.

One of those additive things to add stuff into the fuel to make things run better, improve mileage by 300% and eliminate all wear in the engine??

Seriously, haven't a clue.

Its a lead additive kit, allegedly to improve octane rating etc.
Snake oil for engines, imho

A lead additive kit. No wonder Freddie could beat all the Harleys and most 650 bullet bikes. Because I got lead in my pencil.

Guess what? Twins! Yes there was another one I dislodged while I was cleaning the inside of the tank. I feel like it explains my lead "foot". The PO must have put them in because it was running crappy even though the science is sketchy.

even though the science is sketchy.

It reminds me of the dubious foil packets which we're supposed to wrap around our fuel lines and then enjoy a 30% increase in fuel economy and power
