[DML] Re: Delorean on the side of road in MD

["deloreanchuck" <chuckkay@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

    That was my son Mike's DeLorean 10610.  He is taking Automotive 
Technology at Lincoln Tech in Columbia.  He was on his way home to 
Timomium when he heard a POP and then the car filled with steam.  
This was on I-70 just before I-695 (Beltway). He called me at work 
and I can out to help him.  I work 5 miles from the site.  The rubber 
coolant hose just in front of the pipe with the osterstat blew out 3" 
split. Coolant everywhere.
    We wrapped the hose in electrical tape and removed the coolant 
bottle cap so the system would not be pressurized.  We stopped twice 
on the way home to fillup with water. 
    We went to Salvo Auto Parts and looked for a suitable hose.  We 
picked Gates 20137 and cost $8.50.  It  was 17" long with a 90 degree 
band in it, but it had a 7" straight section to it and it was the 
right diameter. I cut off a 5" piece and installed it and refilled to 
the correct concentration.  The whole repair was about 30 minutes.  
Time to check all the other short sections in the system.
