Hi, you should take the car back to where the fuel pump was installed, there might be fire danger because of the fuel so towing the car would be best. It sounds like the tank fill tube is not attached properly. Thanks for using 2Carpros. Com

I called carmax because thats where I got the car from. They said they are going to charge me $350 jus to tow my car in and look at it. It might be a possibility that my car can catch fire?
