Ok,i brought in my 95 rs into the dealership to do a fuel filter,i was gonna do it myself but i coundt get bottom bolt off so i said ####ed it,anyways got home and i am leaking gas wtf, i guess they didnt tighten the bottom bolt dumbasses, so they said bring it in,in the morning, but do you think its ok to drive? (45min)I already had one engine fire,i dont need another, i better get it for free or a free tank of gas :mad: :mad:
 
If it's leaking fuel, don't drive it. All you need is for that fuel to find its way onto a hot engine part then it's byebye eclipse.
 
Exactly. Telling you to drive it back to the dealership was extremely irresponsible of them. I would recommend trying to tighten the bolt yourself. Otherwise, have their dumb a$$es tow it back up there for you.
I can't believe they told you to do that -- That would have been a lawsuit waiting to happen.
:notgood: WTF :nono:
 
id say definitely don't drive it. if anything have them send someone out to tow your car, if its a big leak that should not be driven on. it could just be a loose bolt that you could do yourself. id take a look first to see it you can do it. might save alot of hassle on a little problem.
