Does anyone have a fuel pump I can buy or borrow? Mine just died on i75 in GA and I need the car operational to go back to work Tuesday.

Do you have an OEM style pump? I have one that could be overnighted? Send me a private message.

Sorry I don't have one handy.

Yeah I have the oem style. I was looking for someone local though. I'll most likely end up getting a rental and ordering a new pump

An OE pump can be cross referenced at any parts store. I can't remember the Bosch number but I'm sure it's in the cross ref. List.

[Domi]

It should be BOSCH 0580254957
72 PSI/5 bars. 43.6 GPH/165Lph
Hope this helps?

The local parts stores don't carry it. I just really wanted something local to get my car going while waiting on a new dmc one.

Order it in then.
If I need a part, and they do not have it in stock that is what I do. Works everytime.
Should be able to get it next day.

Sounds like the risks of daily driving a delorean (or any car for that matter), this is a fairly common failure it could be much worse.

I meant there wasn't one to order. The one domi mentioned wasn't available at the 3 main stores. Searching webstores by car yielded really generic results at best. Rockauto didn't have anything either.

Google the fuel pump 0 580 254 909 and see if you can x reference or buy it and have it shipped overnight. That's the pump I have used for years.

Bosch 909s are all over ebay, amazon, etc.

At the local parts store try this:

DELPHI FE0015
Or tell them the application is a 77 porsche 924
Rock auto lists this part under 1981 delorean.

[mr_maxime]

I should get the new style dmch by Wednesday.

I didn't think to look under 1981 though. I got 1982 so that's what I looked at.

Only problem with the all in one is you can't carry a spare unfortunately.

you can get spare parts if you contact James.

My combo unit died on me with about 20k mi and that was the offering.

I ended up just buying a tahoe fuel pump + sender local and dropping it in.

One year while driving from Gatlinburg over the mountain to Harrahs Casino my pump started acting up. I took it out and let her cool for about 30 min and all was well. I found a matching pump at an Advance Auto parts in Cherokee NC. I didn't install it till I got home since mine was fine(just got overheated) but the point is if Advance in that place has them then surely a little investigating will yield one.

The secret is you don't ask for a DeLorean fuel pump, you ask for a pump for a1980 Porsche 911 (or whatever the cross reference is, I can't remember)

If I simply replaced the fuel with an oem style, would I not run into the same problem again?

well to the same effect that if you replace your tires you will eventually need to replace them again.

the fuel pump is a wearable item, especially if you run the tank on the bottom half frequently and/or live in a hot climate.

Do you mean you kept the DMCH combo and only replaced the fuel pump and sender, or went back to OEM style with a tahoe pump?

they are both integrated pump / senders.
