Found a pool of petrol under my bus last night. Exploration under the vehicle revealed the piece of pipe pictured below on the return to the tank. I can't think of any reason for it to get into this state unless something has been nibbling at it. There looks to be definite score marks rather than just degradation.
Has anyone any clues as to what may have happened?

Cripes! I better go and check what they had for dessert then. The damage was only a couple of inches from the exhaust silencer which is wrapped in heat insulation tape so they evidently thought it was the Ritz with central heating and plush furnishings.

I bought a two man tent a few years back, put it up in the garden for the kids to play in. The following morning we woke to find it collapsed on the garden. Every single sewn in rubber loop had been chewed to bits, over 20 in all pretty sure it was a fox.
