Volvo CI Fuel System Manual
Section 2(23), CI Fuel System B27, B28E/F, 260 1975-1983
The Volvo CI Fuel System Manual covers the fuel system used in the DeLorean. The documentation is generally directed at Volvo cars of the day, so certain instructions that are vehicle-specific do not apply to the DeLorean, such as how the fuel tank is mounted, or references to the radiator fan mounted on the engine. However, the bulk of the manual deals directly with the fuel system itself, and thus applies equally to the DeLorean. The complete name of the manual is Section 2(23), CI Fuel System B27, B28E/F, 260 1975-1983.
Contents[]
The manual includes specifications, a list of special tools, and detailed information on the CI and CIS systems, including specifications with temperature curves, components, fault tracing, basic settings and inspection, and adjustments. Each page is further divided into operation numbers identifying specific steps performed in a given procedure. A table of contents outlines the 131 page manual, and the full index makes it easy to find pertinent information.

The manual has european-style hole punches. This allows it and the other Volvo manuals to be collected and protected in a binder, although it can be tricky to locate a compatible binder in the United States.
Availability[]
The Volvo service manuals are not generally available from DeLorean vendors, but can be found online with some searching at places such as books4cars.com.

CIS may also be used to refer to the CI System, which can lead to confusion.
