Re: A new DMC owner with a problem

I would not recomend using standard fuel line tubing inside the tank. 
The rubber coating that is on the outside of the tude will 
dissintergrate over time and mix in with the fuel...very bad. As high 
of a price the pick up line is, it's worth it. The tube is not a 
straight line, it's curved in a few places...like a winding snake. 
The tube from what I understand is a new type of tube, not the OEM 
ones. The Delorean vendors had them remade and they are alot more 
durable.

As for your door problem....it sounds like the link that goes to the 
outside door handle and the link that goes to your outside lock have 
either fallen off of have been disconnected. You'll have to take the 
door trim off to look inside to see what the problem is.

of my fuel supply problem. As it turns out, the hose that connects 
the fuel pump to the baffle is completely missing (!), which means 
the fuel pump is sucking gas directly from the top of the tank. I 
looked on delorean.com and the part is $91. Does anyone else know of 
a replacement that does not cost as much? Will standard fuel line 
work just as well?

puzzled. Any ideas?
