Still the biggest issue is keeping these in stock - TX is out of stock until mid-May, not sure about the rest of the dealers.

To remedy this, DMCH now ships the unit with an included external inline check valve that you install inline on the included rubber hose that connects the pump's feed line to the car's steel feed line. There are also a few reports that the electrical connector that plugs into the pump doesn't 'lock' on as it should. They suggest repositioning and oiling the rubber gasket in the connector, however, if that doesn't work, you can always use a zip tie, electrical tape, etc to hold the plug/connector together.

Other than that, the only other known/wide-spread issue is that it's an extremely tight fit reinstalling the access panel once you have the pump properly installed, but it is possible.

Enjoy the new unit - it really is a nice product :thumbup:

The check valve and snap-on fitting are now pre-assembled in order to make sure they are installed properly.

I love my unit. I've had it installed for about 9 months and haven't had any issues other than the check valve problem. I picked up an aftermarket brass check valve, installed it in 10 minutes, and everything's been perfect ever since. The fuel sender component is very reliable and overall, I'm extremely happy with the entire setup. Getting rid of the pickup tube was very welcome. I only ran into one instance where it was heated up and collapsed on me and I'm glad I won't have to go through that again. Extremely quiet unit.

This is a super hot item! I had to work the phone a little. But I was able to place an order with DMCCA. No one else within 1500 miles from me had it. However DMCFL called me back just a little while ago and said they may have one or two still in stock.

So, I wanted to give a good thumbs up on this as well.

This unit is running with the VR6 DeLorean, and so far, there have been ZERO problems with this unit working with the new engine.

I know of one running an LS1 DeLorean in Australia as well.

I'll bump this again with another update on my combo - since figuring out the problem with my kinked accumulator hose, I have had zero issues and am still loving the silent operation and accurate fuel gauge. It's true what they say, quality remains long after price is forgotten....

Just wanted to put my 2 cents in. After 2 weeks of use the unit has performed flawlessly. My only issue was I partially kinked the return line during the installation. But after I figured that out it's been perfect! Everything works as it should including my gas light which hasn't worked in over 10 years.

Thanks again to Cameron and the guys over at DMC-CA. They were very helpful and shipped my pump out on Monday and it made it to my front door on Long Island by 5 pm Friday. Not bad.

Well, my internal check valve apparently failed. The last month it increasingly took longer and longer to start when warm. I added the external "patch up" valve from us plastics and the last week of driving it has started immediately every time....

Actually, I'm surprised that the internal check valve lasted as long as it did on your unit, as the one on mine lasted all of two weeks before failing.

Mine lasted a lot longer than two weeks but they all seem to die at some point.

The in-line "fix" valve does a really good job of resolving the issue, and is pretty easy to get installed. No complaints.
