Re: Gas Quark

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Leaking fuel can be very dangerous. Since you said it happened right
after you filled up and the car is leaking in front I would suggest
you pull the covers off in the bonnet (the one by the spare tire and
the other under the fill) and inspect the rubber. Look for
deteriorated or mispositioned rubber boots, and hose clamps. Make sure
you have the correct gas cap. It seems the one on the Delorean is kind
of unique and if it was ever replaced it is possible the replacement
is not correct. Try to do this as quickly as possible and don't park
the car in an enclosed space until you fix this!
