any of us that work on cars for a living, this is for you. i'm sure boats & heavy equipment suffer the same issues with "critter damage" to wiring, plastic fuel & vacuum lines, & nests in the vehicle. honda has issued a service bulliten with a part # for rodent deterrent tape. the bulliten # is A10080B dated aug. 2010. the tape part # to order through a honda or acura dealer is 4019-2317. i work at a country service station now, lots of ag related customers, lots of critter damage to go with it. this tape has really cured some repetitive issues for me. wraps like regular electrical tape, easy to use.
something for the mechanics

Hey Robin, In the 1980's I bought a friends 1970 442- it had been sitting in his back yard for over a year. He bought a new battery and it would not start. Pulled the top off the air filter and it was full of dog food :lol: :lol: :lol: . Car ran fine after we dumped that out :lol: :lol: :lol: .Glenn
