Finn, what exactly is a "basket case" IP and how exactly do they want to "go through it"? Have these guys explained what they believe the problem is and how they intend to fix it? How did they arrive at $1,100? What problems are you having? Where is the fuel leaking from? If it's just an issue of resealing the delivery valves, it would only cost you about $50 (including the necessary socket) and a few hours of your time to do it yourself. You can find the DIY info here, but first you need to know what the problem is.
