[DML] Re: fuel pump? please help!

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

OK guys; lets get the facts straight. Lets not lead non technical DeLorean
owners into the wilderness. 

If I'm not mistaken the original post described a leaking fuel connector
which might be easily corrected by just tightening up the connector. Lets
not "scare the pants off the guy" by telling him that his fuel distributor
is bad. Lets not pour salt on the wound by quoting a price of $1800 to
$2000 when the part costs less than $800 from any of the DeLorean parts
people. 

Lastly: Python Corporation does not provide services to consumers, you must
be in the auto parts or service business and have an account on file with
them to order their services.
