"A fuel pump repair would be important,"

Absolutely! A bad fuel pump can go two ways; leak externally, thereby causing the vehicle to not run at all, or, leak internally; which 'could' allow the vehicle to run, but risk of fire. (I know, my husband and I own an auto parts store.)

There is quite alot for the investigators to check into to see who is lying about the whereabouts of the vehicle, during the period in question, Ricci or the mechanic. The lack of questioning about this particular topic by AB, and the rest of the media, seems like a glaring omission. It would seem like an elementary question. Perhaps they have asked, but deemed the answer not interesting enough to report on.
