Starting problems after fuel filter replacement??

Since I've had my fuel filter replaced on my auto yaris sedan (2009) I've had problems starting the car - I would have to crank it for about ten seconds before it would start, it would shudder then start and it was very sluggish. The check engine light was on too. I took it back to the mechanic, they said the O-Ring didn't fit properly, fixed it and sent me on my way. It all worked perfect until I filled up with fuel, and now I have the same problem again. Any ideas what it could be? I can't afford to take it back to the mechanic :(
Thanks

The mechanic who did the work should be responsible for rectifying the issue. It sounds like he did not properly reassemble the fuel sender assembly and it is leaking off the pressure.
