[DML] Re: Engine stumbling

[Mike Substelny <drivestainless@xxxxxxxxx>]

Wayne,

Your description sounds exactly like your fuel inlet
has broken loose from the bottom of your tank.  I bet
it is wandering around down there and your fuel intake
is random.  If I am right your DeLorean will run
smooth as silk whenever the tank is completely full,
but the lower your fuel level gets the more random
stumbling you will see.
