It looks like a gemstone called Hermatite.
It's possible the original owners of the cars stoled/smuggled them and it happens that the only way to get away with them was to pour in the fuel tank.
Don't discard yet, you might actually be close to millions right now.

Did you give your car to someone to buy fuel for you? If yes, may be it was done to give a false sense of full rank.

Your car was used to smuggle LEAD into d country.

It's valuable but it's not meant for d fuel tank

It's used to produce car batteries, dry cell batteries, radiator fan brush,alternator brush ,car kick brush etc

It's poisonous.

Next time keep quiet if you don't know something, don't misinform the public... Where did you see lead?

That's activated carbon/charcoal pellets used in fuel tanks. Google is your friend.

Re: Strange Items In My Fuel Tank by occfx: 12:24pm On May 25
Must be something like organic materials or minerals.

charcoal pellets help maintain fuel quality, prevent contamination, and extend the life of the fuel tank and fuel system. ..๐Ÿค”

A professional mechanic should tell you
Re: Strange Items In My Fuel Tank by FILEBE(m): 12:32pm On May 25
People have given you replies here. i can tell you for a fact that it is the charcoals found in your Vapor CANISTER aka charcoal cannister . This canister is attached to the fuel line. it absoves the odur and gases from your petrol. How it got into your fuel tank is what i can't understand. the picture below is where the charcoal is in .

people who always have their tank overflowing when refilling at the fuel station should check this cannister

That is from your charcoal canister, nothing strange about it. It is part of the emission regulation system. Without it, the pressure from your tank can make the car to explode. The canister ensures that excess fuel vapor is sent to the combustion chamber and burnt properly.
So throw away or return it?

What sort of senseless post is this? And what has the vulcanizer and his daughter got to do with your post? Why attaching their picture?

Please grow up!

Get a new one, it's a bit cheap. By the way, it is not found in the tank, it is fastened under the car and hoses goes to it from the tank.

Re: Strange Items In My Fuel Tank by lolexzy: 1:19pm On May 25
This is Part of the car's emissions controls, this charcoal-filled canister's job is to absorb fuel vapor that would otherwise vent out to the atmosphere, causing pollution. Vapors trapped by the charcoal are released back into the engine through the purge valve and then burned.
It appears the evaporative canister has broken down and activated carbon has spilled into the petrol tank. You will need a new one installed.

Downside- your car will consume more fuel

Re: Strange Items In My Fuel Tank by nnewsnjobs: 1:22pm On May 25
That is an activated carbon. It was placed there for cleaning/filtration of the fuel.

It is normally use for cleaning, filtration and odor removal.

I don't think this is any arm there.
