Thank you so much for responding fast!
You helped a lot. I was hoping I can drive it because I need to go to work tomorrow. Do I need to get the gas above half tank out or can I just burn that off? I want to be as safe as I can be with this because I have a 40mile drive home will I be fine with that long of a drive like this?

Sorry for the delay. I was meeting with the fellow who is going to rebuild my house.

Normally the gas won't leak out real fast. If it's pouring out real fast, it's already down to half tank. Slow leaks usually evaporate as fast as it leaks. I'd avoid parking in a garage though until the leak is solved.

My focus would not start, we replaced the fuel pump and filter and it started. I drove it about 10 miles the next morning it started, I drove it a few miles and it quit, I started it again, went about 500 feet it quit again, it kept doing this, we then replaced the fuel pump driver module located under the back seat, and checked fusses, this still did not fix the the problem. It starts fine and runs at an idol, if I try to give it gas it wants to quit, if I let off the gas in time it will continue to idol. What could be the problem now ?

Scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it.
