Hi Robert. Nice to see you today! I'm sorry to hear you are having this problem. I know this can be frustrating. Please give me one moment to type out some information for you. Sit tight one minute... I'll be right back! Thanks for holding, Robert. Given the year and the mileage on this vehicle, if the fuel pump has never been replaced, and the fuel tank needs to be be removed to access a fuel leak, while the tank is out it might be a good idea to replace the fuel pump. Keep in mind there is no 'need' to replace it, as the pump is replaced on a 'need-to' basis. But, like I say, due to year and mileage, strong chance the pump will fail in the near future. You'd be saving yourself some labor costs.

Makes sense, thank you
