It's not often that I actually find things that are truly " unsafe" Sure, I find some loose tie rod ends, here and there, worn out brakes, or maybe a tire showing cords that an owner was not aware of , but every once in a while , I get a whopper .
This tree branch punctured the metal shield , protecting the fuel tank, and was jammed into the tank very hard. It put a nice sized dent in the tank. How it didnt pierce the tank, i have no idea.
To make matters worse, it was jammed up super tight against the exhaust pipe, and muffler , and definitely getting hot enough to make one think .
I had to pound it out with a large whammer hammer .
I seriously doubt it would have ignited, but its noteworthy anyhow !!
