Re: Gas Tank Fixes

[srubano@xxxx]

The use of a straight fuel line hose in the gas tank for the fuel 
pick up line is not recommended. Because the hose needs to bent at 
certain points this will cause a restriction. Even though the hose 
does not seem kinked, it will over time. Heat and just the plain Fuel 
itself will normally soften the hose a little which will cause it to 
kink if it is bent when it's not made to bend. Another example would 
be cooling lines. If you took a straight coolant line and bent it 
into position, it looks like it will work. Put a few miles on it with 
the heat and fluids and you'll see the line will start to kink at the 
bend and restrict the flow of coolant...that's why there are pre-
fabricated bent hoses.

It's recommended to use the pre-fabricated bent fuel pick up hoses 
that the Delorean vendors carry. When it is installed it will 
naturally lay in position with all of the bends in its proper 
determined place. They are new...not NOS and are also extremely 
durable. I believe Rob has spent about 3 or more years researching 
the different materials that submersible fuel lines are made of and 
found an extremely long lasting durable one. Most lines after being 
put into a tank full of gas will either dry out and crack or soften 
too much where it will collapse. The one that Rob has found has not 
experienced either problem.
