Muffler heat shield - torn off
Well Im down in NS and the micra made it through that tropical storm, but I hit a real deep surprise puddle at 100kph. It mangled the rear heat shield that separates the fuel tank from the exhaust.
Now there is a few inches clearance between the fuel tank and the exhaust. I've gone on a few highway runs with it, idled her for 30 mins in the parking lot with a/c, the fuel tank doesn't seem to get hot at all. Seems like that thin piece of tin isn't doing much.
There isn't any nissan dealers here. Think its safe to drive home?
-Thx
