RE: [DML] Taking Delorean Out of Storage



Andy,
Besides the gas, You might want to change the oil and filter. Then before
you crank it, unplug the coil wire and the cold start and turn the engine
over several times to build up oil pressure so you don't have a dry start.

If you live in the US, 87 octane is the minimum. the 91 octane is based on
the UK method of octane calculation.

Some list members maintain that 91 octane (US) in a stock DMC is detrimental
rather than beneficial.
