Sat Tara, you're probably right, since insulating the hose all the way down
to the head also keeps heat away from the fuel pump which is right behind
it. Not having a manual, I thought there might be some fuel pump relay
switch up in there somewhere that couldn't take the heat, but yeah, it's
probably the fuel pump itself that's vapor locking. Jacques
