B100 rodent food?
Thanks Alan's blog for the recent entry about Biodiesel and moving back to Seattle. Your comment:
"One minor hiccup in this environmental love-fest. It turns out that rodents seem to consider biodiesel a rather tasty treat (it is, after all, remarkably similar to french fry grease), and some of them apparently have been nesting on top of our engine during the night and nibbling away at the distributor caps. So, the Golf is currently back at Carter VW for repairs, thanks to the mice, and unfortunately rodent damage is not considered warranty service..."
is interesting. I have not had that problem yet with my Touareg. But I keep it outside and not very hospitable to rodents. I wonder if there is other discussion about this? We whould start a thread on the forums.

This is not good. Seattle is rat infested!
I've read about this issue on a few other occasions (in fact I've read about this happening with rubber hoses on non-biodiesel vehicles as well). How about bear spray or pepper spray? If you coat the undercarriage, would the effect last?
