    "My point was that the OP asked a question, and I provided advice" You may have provided "Advice" but you didn't provide and ANSWER.

    Was this mechanics bill excessive?

    - It wasnt a complaint it was a statement " I'm Pretty Unhappy" - There is no complaint so there was relevance in pointing that out becuase its refers to the ?. Sigh - And if you want to make someone look stupid for a spelling error and you make a point of pointing it out make sure...

    Was this mechanics bill excessive?

    Sounds more like en emotional state to me "Pretty Unhappy" more than a complaint but since there is a ? generally that makes a question and i quote "Should I go back and speak to him?" lrn2English. isn't an english word either dude practise what you preach.

    think i drilled into fuel tank

    All lighter jokes aside dude, you now know how to fix the problem, but looking back on what you did, go and sit down with your mate and a beer and talk about how close you both come to getting taken to the hospital with 3rd degree burns, drilling metal around anything flamable is a no no.
