Tata Motors — Fuel pipe prone to rat bite - bad design

Dear sir,

My Tata Punch car less than an year old, and the fuel pipe has been damaged apparently by rat bite. This has happened 4 times in last 3 months. This is a very dangerous serious issue as petrol leaks while driving and car comes to sudden halt. My car had to be towed away only to be replaced with another rubber fuel pipe which was chewed away within a week. The service station suggested rat cake, poison, spray, mesh etc which were all tried and failed.
The other cars parked in the same area, infact my old Maruti Swift, parked just next to my Punch has never had this problem.
Please look at a permanent solution like steel casing for fuel pipe or a better material or hide the pipe somewhere internally.
Towing car and replacing fuel pipe every week is impractical. This makes the car totally useless and unreliable.
