Fuel pump is bad shop says pump is inside tank, need to replace both $2700?

Pump should be anywhere between $350.00 & $650.00 , depending on quality , not part of the tank , so why are they recommending tank replacement? OR perhaps the labor to get to it is insane?

When you say both, you mean the fuel pump and the sending unit right? Probably got 5 hours or more for the job and 800 in parts so that is still high. If they want to replace the tank like the ULEV units from BMW then have them show you the TSB. GL
