Dear List members:
Back in the twentieth century, when I took physics, the reason given for
vapor locking was that the fuel pump would only pump a liquid, and if the
engine got too hot, and at that time the fuel pump was attached to the engine,
the liquid fuel would become a vapor when super heated and the pump would stop
working. The answer to immediate relief was to cool the fuel pump with water
or let it rest.
I am not sure, but I would think that a filter would let a vapor pass as
easily as a liquid?
Placing an electric fuel pump in the fuel tank, has eliminated vapor lock,
at least the old fashioned type.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson
