[DML] Re: Fuel Guage

["Derek" <derek.grozio@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Bernie,

Having just purchased my D the other day, I have not had the experience 
of problems that are sure to come. However, I do recall reading on this 
board and other places that the fuel sending unit was prone to failure 
on the DeLorean. I would suggest if it continues to give false 
readings, you may want to consider replacing it with a "TankZilla" unit 
that I know PJ Grady carries. From the installation instructions, it 
seems like a simple bolt off/bolt on replacement right under the spare 
tire. Hope this helps.

-Derek
