I recently had services done on my car for installing new engine mounts because my engine was sagging to the left and fuel system cleaning from Firestone. Two days later, I am smelling fuel inside of my car and my engine is starting to smoke when I drive. What should I do? What services do I need to stop this from happening again? Also, whenever I get gas, the pump is jerking meaning it wont receive the full amount without me pumping it a hundred times.

Check for a kinked vent line or blocked it is the small one going to the filler neck. Check under hood for raw gas on engine then go back to Firestone and have them fix it. As far as smoking it depends on what color it is it can be ahead gasket/valve seals if black something wrong with fuel like to much pressure maybe so it may be a bad regulator.
