Thx for the nudge. Bought an aftermarket in-tank fuel pump (VDO brand of part number LR043385) for $250 on Amazon and it was delivered to LR dealer in 4 business days. They replaced free of labor charge. Cleared engine codes and test drove 14 miles with no codes nor fuel leaks. Washed it and transported it back to me (88 miles away) and even fueled it up for me.
I’ve driven about 50 miles and no issues.
Lesson learned - if someone is dropping your fuel tank, spend $250 to have them swap out the in tank fuel pump and ensure it doesn’t have any leaks after the repair.
