We drove out of Texas and much of the way across NM today. No issues.

Question for the group-why have we not had a single vapor lock issue?

It has been near or over 100 every day, the cross overs are not blocked, and with a bum fan clutch the coach runs a bit hot which should spell vapor lock. We are at low altitudes so far but will climb as we approach the Pacific.

So, what is preventing it? We had JimB's guys install one of the large diesel type water separators up front on the firewall outboard of the master cyl. They also installed one of Jim's fuel pump to carb insulated flex lines and a booster electric fuel pump (which we have so far never needed). Other than that everything is dead stock. We are buying good quality regular fuel from know brand stations (shell, chevron) and have added ethanol treatment with every tank. Tried Lucas, Rislone and an enzyme based product called StarTron so really can't tell which, if any of them, might be helping.

Any thoughts from the collective wisdom?
