What is this?

Was spraying down the truck with fluid film and found this rubber band. I have no idea what it would have been used for.

That's the power band for your posi rear end. Put it back on before you get stuck.

Better get that fixed quick! That holds the fuel tank in place!

Just kidding.

It's actually one of several long rubber bands used for various applications within the plant to aid the production process. Usually used to hold things out of the way or to keep them from being damaged. Looks like you got a tag along. If you haven't already, just cut it and discard.

Unfortunately it appears to be trapped on there, which is a bummer. Because they're hilariously fun to shoot.
