Oh Bill,
Let me entertain you.
We drove from San Diego to Mammoth Lakes on Sat. - 420 miles. Upon arrival - noticeable gas smell. I chalked it to 9k ft difference in elevation and went to sleep.
Next morning - once you start the truck, it smells of gas. And there are drops of it on the protection plate under the tank.
Dan Kemper called it correctly in 10 minutes and told me what broke and what part to buy. It's on top of the gas tank.
Have some tools but not much, but ACE hardware is close by. Need either firewood or some jackstands - you don't want to pull the tank laying under an EAS truck.
Fast forward.
Local shop pulls the tank and JBWeld epoxies the crack in the filter housing (that we'd assume to be fuel pump housing in the tank). Charges me an hour.
Putting "Mammoth Lakes" in delivery address changes Amazon's delivery from "one day" to September 15.
LR Reno has the part at 2.5x the price, but won't sell over the phone and won't overnight ship. They could work on it, but schedule uncertain and they would need at least six hours to do pull and reinstall the tank. Not knowing that I already had a conversation with the parts department, service manager tells me it's a very high-demand part and it is unlikely they have it in stock. I tell him they have it and I know it.
Now how to get it... 162 miles between Mammoth and LR Reno. Judging by mileage and dashboard indicators, about 10% of gas goes not into the motor. I have the newfangled Expedition Exchange fire extinguisher, but it is not encouraging.
Mammoth-Yosemite airport is closed, and so are ALL car rental places around.
So...
My son to the bailout - the part comes from Hornburg Land Rover in Beverly Hills, at 4x the Amazon price, delivered to Mammoth Lakes in a rental Grand Cherokee.
Don't get me wrong, when these trucks run, they are the cat's meow. Better than Jerry McGovern's 110. But when they stop...
I will be proud of our Land Rover family if LR4 comes home not on a flatbed.
