Why is this hard to believe? Several people have expressed disbelief that a second engine could fail while being tested.

when you have an ape on crack replacing your engine (which appears to be whats going on at galpin), it's a wonder that it would be done correctly and work at all.

Call MANO. Do it now as others have said. Leaking fuel can become deadly in a matter of seconds.

You might also want to call the NTSB if this is indeed the same shop that blew up rotary rasps car. I'm sure they'd be very interested to hear about a shop that can't properly attach fuel lines, and then tells people to drive the cars while fuel is pouring out onto the ground. Your local police dept or attorney general would probably be interested as well. Shops like this need to be shut down before they kill someone, and that wont happen unless you tell your attorney general that your dealership sent you home in a rolling molotov cocktail.

I would actually use the phrase "rolling Molotov cocktail" when talking to MANO. What else to you call an open container of gasoline sitting next to a heat source like an exhaust manifold? "A big ******* problem" doesn't quite crystallize how bad the situation is. Aside from the fire hazard, gasoline fumes will give you brain damage.

so apparently the fuel line blew out or popped out or something along those lines....

I seriously want to give up with this car, and just sell it back to the dealer, unless someone wants to buy it within the next week or so.

ferg

dont give up its just the dealer your going to, any other im sure will be better then the one your at, i see rx8s with over 120.000 miles on them with no engine replacing or anything but normal stuff, the engines in the rx8 is really good, eather they last forever or they fail in a week, look back in the 70s , there still running

Its ashame bc it honestly sounds like you just got a rotten apple outta the bunch then combine that with a knucklehead dealer

If its that bad man just get rid of it with losing the least amount of money possible. If this engine fails and you are the original owner, you CAN use the lemon law.
