Vapor lock problems are a regular discussion topic here. Heat is most often listed as the cause of the problem. Emery's in tank pump seems to be the "best" solution.
Auxiliary fuel coolers inexpensive are readily available but I have not read that anyone has installed a fuel cooler and reported the results.
Would a cooler mounted in front of the radiator along with the extra engine oil and transmission coolers that many have help prevent vapor lock?
I haven't had the problem in California's hot Central Valley or in the mountains while burning California's ethanol. However, I do have an electric fuel pump that I switch on at the first sign of engine stumble/hesitation.
Why do some engines have this problem and not others in the same environment?
We netters could identify an owner with serious vapor lock and each contribute a few bucks to have a fuel cooler installed on his coach.
Comments please.
