sounds like a line wasn't secured properly, be it at the fuel filter or the sending unit, and it finally let go. there are also tsb's about the fuel lines under the hood "setting/hardening" and seeping past the clamps. if you can, lay on your back and see if the gas is running down the line to the filter or is leaking at the filter itself. post up what they find.
oh and how much labor did you pay? book time is .5 on the pump and .7 on the filter. i hope no more than 2 hours  + parts/diagnosis |
yeah i know i pulled the back seat out today to see if it was something i could do myself.. i took the cover off and it loooked normal.. just smelled like STRAIGHT gass.. also was making a slight whistling noise so i just put it back and figured they will deal with it..
i also looked at the filter and felt around.. no leakage to my sight or feel..
dude i got raped.. just not as bad as i would have by firestone.. i paid 340 for the pump (yeah i know) an 120 for labor and another 20 for the filter...
but firestone wanted to charge me 700-900 yeah i was like can i have my car bak now? ill tow it else where.. i had to pay to have it towed down the street because allstate said it wasnt an emergency because i was at a shop that could fix it (and they are right)
and firestone did the diagnosis for 90 .. basicallyy i paid like what the damn car is worth only to have it get fudged up again..
ps this may be a dumb qquestion.. but what are TSB'S?
