I don't want to say too much, but yes they installed a sump and low pressure aux fuel pump. I also know they had problems with getting the 2 fuel tanks to seal together.

I have no doubt this was caused by a fuel leak. Had it been me alone in the car I would have been dead. Had it been my wife or dad we would have both been burned alive. God took care of me by it being my brother with me.

Yeah when messing with fuel systems people have to pay attention and know what they are doing, one mistake one pinched oring or something not mounted correctly or fitted correctly will leak fuel. I had a broken O-ring on a fuel rail from a shop, my buddy noticed the fuel leak and we fixed it the shop acted like it was no biggy so i stopped my business with them. Hope insurance and the "blame" goes to the correct person and u dont get stuck flipping the bill. Get better, burns arent no joke.
