I would like to know if anyone can supply me with
photos and/or a description of the metal fuel tanks used on the RHD
DeLoreans. Specifically, I would like to know:
How is the fuel pump mounted? Insideor
outside the tank?
How are the lines sealed where they penetrate the
tank?
What kind of fuel pickup and baffle were
used?
Why I want to know:
Particularly in hot climates, there are issues with
heat from the coolant pipes conducting through the OEM plastic fuel tank and
into the fuel. After driving home with my fuel pump cavitating loudlylike
a headlight buzzer I put a thermometer in there and measured a fuel temperature
of 118 ºF. So I want to make a new fuel tank out of stainless steel
that will make more room for insulation around the coolant pipes since the OEM
plastic tank leaves no such room. Anything that I could learn about the
metal tanks could be useful.
Thanks, Walt Tampa, Florida DOCmember 315! :-) |
