>>Well the problem is not the fuel pump, an electric helps, but it is the fuel, and "Al Gore Corn" in the fuel. Anytime you are above 90 degrees for a long period of time, you run the risk of vapor lock with the new fuels that we have to use. You have to keep the fuel temps down. If it is 90 plus degrees and you are above 5,000 feet, you are at risk. If it is over 100 degrees the road surface will heat the tanks and you are at risk. We in the northwest usually don't have the problem, but I have had vapor lock in Wyoming, Colorado, southern California and Arizona. I now have in-tank electric fuel pumps, have moved the fuel line outside of the frame for more air and gone to a steel line to reduce heat build on the line. This summer I am going to try a reflective paint on the tanks. My other solution is to not travel in the heat, but since I plan to make Western States in October, I will be going early in the AM when the road surface is cool.
