Interesting fuel leak today

[warlord381]

I was messing around with my M35A2C today and after a short tour through the property I stopped and shut her down. The brakes had been acting up so I crawled under to ckeck for leakage and I noticed fuel running down off the passenger side of the engine. I checked under the hood and found that a bird or something had chewed through the fuel inlet tube on the manifold heater! Don't see that everyday!

Can anybody suggest something to replace this? I'm surprised they went with a plastic fuel hose!

We usually call them mice down in my neck of the woods. They eat wiring, make nests in the heater boxes, and air intakes, and generally cause a nuisance..

I had one eat the bottom corner of the battery in my tractor once. What a mess! I have to wonder what happened to the mouse when it got a face full of sulfuric acid.

I have to check mine weekly to keep the spiders out. Also, had a bird try and build a nest on my fuel filters. Wild life has no respect....my truck ain't noahs ark.

Fuel line I can't help. Hopefully some one knows. I always try McMaster-Carr first

I have six vehicles sitting in my driveway and the squirrels have torn most of the underhood and firewall insulation out
of four of them this summer! Ate a bunch of wiring on the wives RAV.
