<VV> Time to Fix the Vapor Lock

[J R Read_HML]

Ron,

It does not happen when you are driving them - even in HOT weather.  It
happens when you have been driving it and gotten it quite warm... and then
stop for 15 or 20 minutes.  During the stop the heat soaks into the fuel
lines (and I guess the pump as well, per Ken) and turns the liquid gas to
vapor.  The pump cannot move the vapor, only the liquid.
