Finally, changed the damn fuel pump....wouldn't start....took in the alternator only to be told it wasn't an alternator....but some other pumpy thingy..embarrassing.....finally gave up...pushed the car a mile to the nearest garage just before dusk.......called the next day....they said come pick it up and bring  five dollars  to repay them for the gas they put in the empty gas tank........but hey....lesson learned I guess????

Similar story:

Years back, I bought myself a new/used car. Pleased as punch with it, I took it home and thought I'd give it a good clean before the gf got back from work.  I had the radio on while wiping down the interior, when a dash light informed of a MAJOR FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION.  Damping down my rising panic, I looked it up in the manual and read, 'This could indicate a leak in the fuel system...', stopped reading and gave full vent to the panic.

Looking around and under the car, I didn't find anything leaking.  In a flash of desperation, I called my friend Henry (the recognized local expert on all things automotive) and managed to gibber out my concerns.  'See you in five,' said Henry.

Good as his word, Henry arrived in five minutes, turned on the key, looked at me and said, 'You've got a couple of options - I can fix this for five quid, good as new, or you can give me 50 and I'll fix it AND not tell your girl what a fuckwit she's involved with.'  Sounded like a bargain, so I gave him the fifty, he got out of the car, walked round to the other side, and...tightened the fuel cap.
