Darryl, I agree with your concerns but I disagree with you statistics. We have been servicing and researching DeLoreans since 1984. With hundreds of DeLoreans in our data base I know of none having engine fires. I don't know of any internal combustion engine that does not have fuel lines running near ignition sources. A fire extinguisher is a good idea in any car, the DeLorean is no more prone to engine fires than any other gasoline powered vehicle. The biggest potential for engine fires is caused by inexperienced shade-tree mechanics not using the proper techniques when servicing their cars. Lets be careful what we say about these cars on this public forum. The car already has an unfounded questionable reputation. Lets not "throw more gas on the fire" by making people think that the car will burst into flames at any moment. Lets tell the facts as they are. The DeLorean CIS fuel injection system is one of the most reliable fuel systems, built by the leader in the industry; Bosch. All the critical fuel lines are heavy duty high pressure lines with all copper and brass fittings. These fuel lines and fittings don't just fail by use or age. Owners who elect to service their own cars need to know and understand fuel system procedures & precautions. A good example is house wiring. We know that all home owner can change a light bulb, some can replace a light fixture, and few can run circuits from the service panel. All of these items can be potentially dangerous or lethal. You know as well as I that when we post messages like this one there will be many replies for the next several days that will say: "I recently heard that DeLoreans can catch on fire easily". In closing I agree with you that we should caution owners about potential fuel system fires and keep them posted on proper service techniques and periodic inspections.
