Does the gasoline scent cause them to abandon the den?
Three or four years ago, I saw a young ground hog run toward my house when I was leaving for work. It decided to climb an elm tree in my yard (yes, ground hogs can climb trees) but stopped about 4' from the ground in plain sight. I do not allow burrowing animals around my buildings.
On the way to work, I had no time to open the safe, load a gun, shoot the critter, clean the gun and restore it to the safe.
I drove my car outside of the building telling myself that I would do something about the hog if it was still there when I drove past the tree. It was.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
