keep in mind that the RVP of gasoline is a changing value. RVP is measured at 100 F. It changes with temp.

You can also condition fuel. It starts around the regulated value but can quickly boil down to low values. Holding fuel with no back pressure and at ambient temp will reduce its RVP.

If you could run each tank seperatly and only fill one at a time, you could let one tank condition down while running off the other. You could also reduce vapor lock by filling in the cool of the day and allowing the tanks to vent off while it comes up to temp. Filling hot will give a charge of cold high RVP fuel a chance to generate a bunch of vapor.
