Mechanic's tip
On many modern vehicles the fuel pump is inside the gas tank, making labor the majority of the cost. Symptoms include a whining noise from the tank, engine sputtering at high speeds, or a car that starts then quickly dies. Don't wait — a completely failed fuel pump means a no-start. Ask the shop to replace the fuel filter at the same time if it's external.
