| Description of the problem | After filling tank gas tank today (approx. 1/2 full), i noticed that my check engine came on and stayed on. Also, my fuel level gauge did not register that the tank had been filled. I checked the fuel cap several times to make certain the cap was tight - which it was. Consequently, i went to firestone for a diagnostic test and discovered that the fuel-sending unit had malfunctioned. I was informed by the serviceman that the cost for repairs was $388. |
