There have been other forum posts in different vehicle forums about people sucking in electrical tape for whatever reason. Apparently its a popular tape to go to when fixing things. If they only knew what it looked like after a few years in a dry electrical box....

It may also be entirely possible that the tape simply fell off and is hanging out on the interstate or his skid plate.

People have sucked in towels and rags MANY times. Rags usually jam intake valves open, but paper towels seem to just burn up and cause no real harm.

If the car runs properly and has good compression in all cylinders I would not worry about it.
