Bad repair stories? Won't start on first crank, smell gas.

Are you comfortable replacing fuel lines?

If no, suck it up.

I've billed 8 hours of labor (and $200 worth of fluids) on a $9 seal (rail car mover). But it needed doing, and my time and expertise is worth something.

The same is true for car mechanics.

Do it yourself if you don't want to pay for labor. Just remember, your time is worth something too.

No no, but if all that was needed replacing was the fuel filter, why get new the lines. When the filter leaked , I did not complain ( shit happens ) It was an afterthought, that all I needed was a new Fuel filter, and not new fuel lines +3hrs of labor? And I go to them because I want to support the local Biz in my City.

You replace the fuel filter if you're going to fix the lines because putting on a dirty filter is a turbo poorfag move. Sorry the part was bad, but a mechanic can't do anything about that except stock 2 of them, and they probably don't sell enough because most gas powered car drivers never change their fuel filter, they just wonder why their response goes to hell as the car ages.

You didn't just need a fuel filter, the lines were the problem.

Pfft, cuck. Blew a line starting car in one of those automatic parking robots, just left it there, bought new filter and lines from the local parts strore and reinstalled right then right there within 2 hours at 7pm. The place smelled like gasoline, but fuck it, haven't had to touch it again after that.

Read that twice, still confused, but... you said the lines were the problem. So that might make scene (but the filter was leaking not the lines?) Some old guy delivers the parts they need.
Thnx for the insight anyhow.

Now I feel like an Omega, thnx

Just remembered... the original fuel filter was installed by them less than a year ago'.
Again why replace the lines IF it's just the fuel filter that's bad,

If the filter is bad and isnt filtering you would get dirty lines no?

dirty fuel in your lines doesn't mean the line is bad, but if the filter is bad enough that chunks are going through, you need to worry about more than the lines, the injecters would be clogged.
