this thread reminds me of an interesting story. Last fall, went on a camping trip to local state park. Left campsite to go on a hike, came back to a hissing sound and after investigating, noticed my rubber hose between tank and rig was chewed up and leaking. I believe a squirrel started chewing my hose! I was able to make it to local TSC (only place open on sunday night) and find a replacement right before they closed. after I got home, ordered new one with steel overbraid, the kind that are often used with washing machines.
