Narrative:
The aircraft had been in maintenance for a fuel contamination issue some days prior to the flight. There was a hazmat product placed on board the aircraft (biobor) in the flyaway kit in the baggage compartment of the aircraft. The bottle had been placed in a zip lock bag and tucked away in the fly away kit. It is our suspicion (only) that the service center decided it would be good for us to have the left over unused portion. There is no known communication to/from anyone stating that the product had been placed on board inside the tote. The bottle and it's contents were discovered by a [FBO] maintenance tech some time after the flight. Suggest mandatory inspections of the flyaway kit on preflight and particularly after maintenance. The flyaway kit is not something that is on the pilots radar when preflighting an aircraft.
