    Worse case scenario.... if you need a hood blankie and one cannot be obtained... you could always use Dynomat Extreme, Dynaliner (1/2" or 1/8") or both. It works great!

    About that... I threw away my perfectly fine blanket... Seeing how you guys are crazy about those things, I should have saved and auctioned it off

    It was raining today and after I got finished adding oil I noticed the bottom of the battery tray was swimming in water. The metal plate underneath that the battery sits on the paint has chipped and is rusting but today I looked down even further inside and the front frame bar between the battery and radiator is all covered in rust.

    Now I'm really getting concerned because it looks like because of the way the tube has been draining I'm going to end up with the front corner all rusted out. I pulled the tube out and turned it so it drains away from the battery but that isn't going to solve much of anything since it's so short. The drivers side hose/drain doesn't have any problem at all.

    Pulling out the drain tube won't solve anything, heck I don't even know right now if the water is even all going through the drain tube and not just coming out from under the insert. Is the only solution a longer drain tube like the fish tank air hose someone else suggested or is there another way to minimize any more damage?
