Fuel Filter ALERT!

 

Speaking of fuel filters we just received a dozen filters from DMCH and I
cringed when I discovered they are out of NOS and substituted the Bosch #401
style filters used on old Volvo 240?s. This filter has a cage nut meant to
be used with a fuel banjo, bolt, and copper washers ala Volvo. Unfortunately
99% of all DeLorean?s use a pipe or tapered thread style elbow to ?seal the
deal?. This arrangement won?t work on a DeLorean and will result in a
massive fuel leak directly ahead of the catalytic converter. Yes folk?s you
too can modify your DeLorean so it looks like a flaming fireball as you
travel down the boulevard?but please don?t park it in your garage unless
your homeowners is paid up! Seriously this is a big problem but at least
DMCH has the fittings to make it work as the factory was apparently trying
them on a few of the later cars and I?ve seen the fittings in my travels
around their warehouse. If you bought a filter and it came in a Bosch box
don?t use it. Call DMCH or whoever you got it from and arrange for a return
or you must change the fittings.

the shelf and installed it last night.

it is highly recommended to check them now before your pump ingests 
some deteriorated epoxy and jams up. You don't want to be stuck on

again.Joe Kuchan

goes inthe gas tank attached via hose or short pipe to the bottom of 
the fuelpump itself. The "fuel filter" is a larger metal cannister 
sortapart, and that's where the confusion comes from.On John Hervey's

cansee the part he sells today and an acknowledgement of the fact 
thatthe epoxy in your picture was undesirable: "No more epoxy to 
leach offand possibility contaminate the pump." You should contact 
himdirectly.-.. he'll probably help you out.--Greg
