I got the estimate today from BMW and went to the gas station. Asked the only guy there and he said the manager is not there, but he did asked me the problems and after he looked at the estimate he just laughed off. I guessed he was the manager there. He made copied of all the paper and said he would send to the office and someone would contact me. That would take about a week.

Here is the details:

Description Qty cost hours

1 - R + I fuel tank sent out to be cleaned 1 75.00 6.1
2 - Replace fuel pump 1 397.55 .3
3 - Flush lines 1 69.95 2.0

Total labor 18.5 @ 134.00 2479.00
Total part 1891.92
tax 156.09
tank clean, fuel disposal 110.00

Total 4637.01


The amount is 4637.01, yesterday he told me 4100.00.

At dealer, they burned the gas for me to see. they poured a little on the floor and burned it, it only burned a little, the rest was still there, looks like some kind of liquid. They can't tell if that is water or something else. they also gave me some sample to bring home.

Now I don't know what I should do. Should I wait for the gas station, it would take about a week or should I use my insurance? This way is faster, but I have to pay 500.00 deductable.
