Since getting my new wheels in June I have been very impresses with everything about this unit except one area, the poly fuel tank guard.

I damaged the guard by kicking up a stick while cutting 24" - 30" tall sage brush. It bent back the leading edge of the guard into the tank, a long bar bent it back but left the tank slightly pushed in.

Then yesterday the fuel return line fell off the fitting on the bottom of the tank, TWICE! There is no access to the fitting because of how the guard is made, so all I could do was slip the hose back onto the barb and finish the job.

My question is;
1 - Am I the only one to encounter this?
2 - If you have had this problem, how did you fix it?
3 - If you had this problem, what would you do?

Thanks for your time and input.
