Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Ah, someone spiked your SRX's gas tank with bleach? That's a tough one, like your car got tricked into a bad chemistry experiment. Bleach in the fuel system can cause serious damage, and fixing it isn't going to be cheap. First, the fuel tank will need to be drained and thoroughly cleaned. The next step should be to try and get the engine to run. As for cost, it can vary widely depending on the extent of the damage. Draining and cleaning the tank could run you a few hundred dollars. Replacing the fuel pump, lines, and injectors could push the bill into the $1,000-$2,000 range or more. If the engine has suffered damage, you could be looking at several thousand dollars. Best to get it towed to a trusted mechanic who can assess the full extent of the damage. It's a bit of a financial sting, but catching it early might save you from more costly repairs down the line. Good luck with your SRX, and may your fuel tank be bleach-free from now on!
