    Don't know if your fix is okay, but if it works, it works. As long as fuel flow is not affected and the clamps hold up. (Not mechanical advice).

    Also, cute dog. Looks like it has heterochromia.

    Dog doesn't look quite right to me. I love dogs; all animals for that matter. Just that look on its face. I think you pissed it off.

    To culprit: You get those soft puppy dog eyes out of my face! You heard me…it was never going to work out you being a shop dog….thats right… well……you heard me, go on, git! Scram I said! :(

    To OP: those aren’t high pressure lines at 2000 psi or something ridiculous like that, are they? If not, it will probably be fine until it leaks.:D;)

    There must be something significantly wrong with that dog, because everything under a truck is so disgusting and smells and tastes so bad that most normal animals would not want to get near it. Especially gasoline.

    That dog wants you dead.

    Cmon, lets not scare the OP. I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable psychological explanation for the dogs behavior…

    I’m sure things will be fine as long as nobody turns their back on the puppy.

    He is nice Dog, extremely sweet but I guess when I leave he gets lonely and probably mad at me for leaving him in the shop. He is just a puppy and will probably stop destroying my 4runner soon, in the meantime I will have to find a way to store my 4runner which I usually leave at the shop and drive home in another car.

    Thanks for all the comments, had some good laughs

    BTW, this might help. Lets hope he cant carry a ladder, he is a smart little one...
