Title: What is this?
Post by: bemusedinsojo on December 24, 2016, 02:40:46 AM
 :BangHead 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?

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.

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.

:iagree 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  :*&*
