£8000 for fuel system?

Is £8000 a bit steep for a new fuel system? It feels that way to me... £4000 just for labour? Surely they're taking the piss...

sounds like it to me. Why do you need to a new fuel system? What have they quoted to do?

That's $13,360 American. for a fuel system??? Way freakin expensive. I would take it to a few shops to verify that. You can get a whole new rebuilt engine for $8,000 I believe (or am I wrong on that?)

Translation: You filled your diesel up with unleaded fuel, ran it, and damaged the fuel system, injection pump, injectors, etc?

Or something else?
