The fuel pump went. I paid for a new one. Upon driving, it stalled. Garage said problem with the clamps that secure the line out of the fuel pump. They claimed to replace the replacement pump with a new one. WHen I start the car, I have to pump the gas pedal now, whereas it always started without a problem before. I don't trust the garage anymore. Can I ask for a refund? If they put in a new pump shouldn't it start without a problem?

It starts and runs now, right?
The fuel pump might be the problem, from here, I have no way to tell.
What else did they do?

Sure it runs, but before they fit the "new" pump it would start perfectly, but now I have to pump the gas pedal to get it started. If a new gas pump is fitted, shouldn't it start clean without me needing to pump the pedal?

Yes it should start and run normally
That's why I asked what else happened, sounds like something got disconnected

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
