Animal Friends nibbling at fuel lines
My fuel line got chewed right before the fuel rail a few days ago. The guy at oreilly's said it was pretty common because Chrysler used soybean oil in the fuel lines. Has anyone ever had this happen to them before?

Or you could leave a bowl of anti-freeze next to the jeep, animals will eat it first because it's sweet and it will poison them. Just don't do it if you have cats or you like your neighbors cats.

Yeah I was thinking that probably wasn't the best idea. I'm sure it'll get the job done, but at what cost? I happen to not want all the neighborhood pets dead.

my friend had an old lumina that someone gave them in his shop and we were trying to get it to run, and i turned it over but didnt fire up, we figured it was just the battery so we popped the hood to charge it when he saw some rat **** on the air box, we popped it open and sure enough there was a whole nest in there. they had nibbled on some tube and made a little house.
