What the heck is this stuff?

There was a bunch of it coating the inside of a brand new NPG Cold Air Intake. Had a heck of a time getting it out.

It did feel like a mashed banana come to think of it, but it was not oxidized brown like a peeled banana would be after being in a shipping carton for two or three days.

Didn't smell at all.

It seemed a little too oily to be a banana and had a slight gel like consistency, wouldn't wash out of the tube with soap and a sponge, had to be scrubbed and lifted mechanically.

Not really petrolium based but "Masticated food" seems to describe it well.

The good news is that I'm not sick and my fingers didn't fall off.

Maybe I'll mash a banana in it, wrap it in bubble wrap and then ship it to myself as an experiement.
