DeLoreans and 88mph.

doc explains how altering the time line works
If it can't be explained on a chalk board then it's just not science!
because he hadnt been back in time then
So how did Doc get the note?
Lets stop there or we will be going in circles
That was painful to watch.

This isn't canon but I'm sure I read somewhere by the time of the start of the first film Doc is suicidal, he lost his mansion and all of his fortune trying to build the time machine, he must have known the terrorists would come after him when he stole their plutonium.
At the start of the movie he intended to kill both himself and Marty if the time machine didn't work which is why he was shocked that it did actually work.

what i can't understand, is in back to the future part 3, they find the delorean in the cave and use it to travel back to 1855.
once there, the indian arrow punctures the fuel tank so they spend the entire film working out how to get it to 88mph using the steam train
since the delorean in 1855 is already in the cave (i.e. at this point there is two deloreans) the one in the cave, and the one which has been in the cave for years and just been used to travel back to 1855 (still following lol)....why not just swap the fuel tanks over?
now its been a while since I've watched them, but in part 3, wouldn't the deloeran have the mr fusion installed, so you wouldn't need petrol anyway

It still has a regular petrol engine for powering the car, Mr Fusion powers the Flux Capacitor and the flight capability but the lightning fried all the flight circuits or they would have been able to fly to 88mph.
If they had used the second Delorean then Marty wouldn't have been able to go back to 1885, the Delorean wasn't in production until the 70s/80s so no parts would have been available in 1955.

No, there was two cars in 1885 once marty had traveled back to the wild west
the car he was in, and the car the doc hid in the cave
why didn't he used the fuel tank from the one in the cave?
:edit: just read your thread a few times over and now understand. very clever

The problem wasn't the fuel tank but obtaining petrol itself which didn't exist in 1855

yes, you are both right
i didn't think that by sabotaging the delorean in the cave, it would prevent him from actually going to 1885 in the first place
darn time travel!

No, but there is a problem with everyone taking everything literally.
