The goo appeared a few weeks after replacing all the original fuel hose.
 There was no goo when I removed the sleeves from the original hoses.

After removing the hose, it was uniformly "wet" with goo everwhere it
was "sleeved".

The "goo" smelled like gasoline and was quite flammable.

The only explanation that seems plausible to me is that fuel vapors were
migrating through the house and condensing under the sleeves, perhaps
then disolving some dirt or other residue, but I don't believe that
dirt/residue in the sleeves was the cause of the problem.
