There are temporary work arounds for the hot start issue until you get your accumulator replaced. The attached doc (DeLorean Motor Center Emergency Handbook.pdf) has a procedure listed, or you can get a Hot Start Relay (halfway down the page). The relay plugs into the loose empty stocket at the top of your relay compartment. Neither should be used as a permanent solution, but it will keep you from getting stranded someplace.

Fuel odor? Is it just when the tank is full? Many cars will have a fuel smell if you fill the tank all the way to the top, mine does, but it goes away after the fuel level goes down below the fuel pump boot seal. You can also verify that your fuel pump boot seal is properly clamped down, just pull the access panel from under your spare tire.
