Well last night I fixed my gas leak. I went to the ford dealership in the next town over to get the parts. It was probably the cheapest I have ever walked away from the parts counter, but it only cost me $3.60 nad I bought extra parts!! It took me about 30 min to do. There are 2 O-Rings inside the seal for the fuel filter. One down in the neck and one that sits on top. Replaced both of those, re-assembled and NO LEAK. The evil ford dealership had my car for 4 days and for $88.23, DID NOTHING. I found this out the other night when I removed the inner fender to check for myself.
I have conatcted the dealership already. I spoke with the Service Manger, the sales manager (who I bought the car from) and the General Manager. I requested my money back, simply for work that wasn't done and parts that weren't used (when I took the car apart, I found my Purolator fuel filter still in it after they had charged me $45 for a new one PLUS disposla for the old one!). Basically they all told me it was against their policy, blah, blah, blah. I said, 'ok, FINE'.
This afternoon, I have a meeting with the state attorney generals' office of consumer protection. I'm filing a claim with them and there will be a law suit. I intend to get my money back plus something to cover all of the gas that I have been spreading around New England and all of my time thatr I have wasted messing with this at a shop rate of $65 per hour. If they can charge it, so can I. I am also filing a report with the better Business bureau, which I will post here as my formal review once I get it all written up.
Thanks for everyones help, I wouldn't have had any idea on how to fix this if it wasnt for the LOD.!
