Last Friday when the wife got home from work I could smell gas from our 2005 Buick La saber so I check under the hood found nothing however there was gas residue on the bottom of the gas tank.
Yesterday I took the car to my friends shop and they had to remove the gas tank because a &#%$ mouse had built a nest on top of the tank and then commenced to chewing the fuel lines which are a series of lines that come as a set.
However...........in order to remove the tank you have got to remove the entire rear suspension and cut the exhaust system just to drop the tank.
This is going to be costly for me in the pocket book and for every
&#%$mouse that comes near my driveway.
Last winter they got on top of the engine and chewed the injector lines causing me to find 3800 series engine in a junk yard and cut out the parts.
Observation: My friend has said and I can bear witness that Buick's with 3800 series engines seem to be very attractive to mice because they have had numerous issues with Buick's and mice chewing things.
