When you own a Delorean you want to own a good jack and a creeper. I bought a 3.5 ton hydraulic jack and a creeper from Checker about six months ago ($140 total). I feel that these items have reduced the work effort by half. I can now lift the car at the center points in the front and the back. I have a set of jack stands to support the car. I have replace the fuel accumulator by jacking only the back of the car up. dale -----Original Message----- From: Greg Bell <gbell@xxxx> To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Friday, March 03, 2000 6:52 AM Subject: [DML] car lift >I am about to replace the fuel accumulator on my 82 D so I wanted to pose a >question to others.
