When I first brought my DeLorean home for the first time, I towed it home
on a trailer. Its a good thing I did too because while working under the
car checking things I found the same hose LAYING against the exhaust manifold
and half way melted through. It was a good thing I didn't take the former
owners advise and drive it home.

Looking closer I saw that the side of the hose nearest the manifold was dried and cracked from the heat of the exhaust. I couldn't see that from above in the engine compartment. With the fuel system running at close to 70psi it could be a dangerous problem. Needless to say I ordered an new line and will take steps to prevent this from happening again. It might not be a bad idea to inspect your fuel delivery line to make sure this isn't happening on your cars. |
