I cracked the fuel tank on my diesel Rabbit with a piece of exhaust pipe I ran over. ( The car ahead swerved around it. I didn't have that option as a car was merging beside me.)
I didn't realize it was leaking until I got to the ferry terminal. When I reported it to the loadmaster, he told me it was no problem and had a crewman seal the crack by rubbing Ivory soap on it. He said they did it all the time for transport trucks. That fix lasted until a new tank arrived three weeks later.
Still, you gotta wonder what they were doing to impale their vehicle with a chunk of tree.
