Fuel pump was being replaced. Townsend Ford performed the job. Tech broke cheap plastic clip requiring fuel filler neck to be replaced. It's defective. Will not seal. Gas vapor leak. Check engine stays on. Ford has problem with supplier. None in country told to me about a couple months ago. Still none now. Gas vapor leak is health hazard and unsafe in my opinion.
