Side topic to the other threads going about vapor lock feedback. I've read here before about positive results on coating the fuel tanks with a heat reflective material, to help the tanks from absorbing road/engine heat. I believe that we have experienced fuel boil in the tanks last year in 93+ degree temps on the Interstate highways. On the hottest days, the gas cap was making a noise and upon opening the cap, fuel actually gushed out.
I figured it certainly can't hurt anything by doing this and I can see a number of benefits. To me, having the tanks under that much pressure sounds dangerous. Has anybody had positive results and what did you use?
Thanks as always.
