I wonder if your mechanic was confused, as I was at first. When you mentioned the $1.00, I figured out you mean you cannot put gas in at the gas station, not that the fuel pump is not pumping gas to the engine.
The filling problem is related to the roll-over valve in the filler tube. Generally this is solved by replacing the tube. The valve is not available separately for most cars.
If it is any consolation, your old fuel pump had exceeded probably three quarters of its typical life expectancy, so while replacing it did not solve the immediate problem, the new pump might save you from sitting on the side of the road next winter!
