Roger, You may want to try insulating the fuel line where it runs across
the engine. Armaflex is a black foam rubber commonly used for insulating
refrigerant lines,and should be able to withstand the heat of the engine
> compartment.Try a hardware store to find it.I wouln't use that brown
plastic pipe insulation.It melts pretty easy and then you will have a
mess to deal with in addition to the problem.

Subject: FTE 80-96 - Vapor Lock?

My 1985 F 250, with a 351 modified Cleveland (1978), is vapor locking in
the 95+ NM heat. Anyone with experience/ideas would be appreciated. Took
us all day to get back home, cooling it down with water over theradiator
and ice cubes on the fuel line, which runs across the top of the engine.
Fuel in the fuel filter appeared to be boiling.

Thanks for any help.

Roger, what type of fuel are you using? Does it have ethanol in it? I live in
Arizona and do not have any vapor lock problems in 115 degree heat unless
you try to run oxygenated gasoline. Can you buy regular unleaded gas?
