At least, the low pressure pump in tank and fuel filter need to be replaced. That's around $1700.
Did you top off at a track? Beware of track pumps that don't see a lot of traffic; they will get water condensation and ruin your day at the track. I now bring my own fuel when I head out or go to the adjoining track that gets more traffic if that option exists (Summit Main bs Shenandoah). I made a quick video on how to fit 2 5 gallon fuel jugs as well as four tires in the car if you were wondering.
