Its getting hotter here and I had 1 minor vaporlock yesterday. I made a bypass circuit that I can run the fuel pump manually to get fuel back to the carb, (4.3L carbureted) but I would like to insulate the fuel lines and pump to help with the issue. Any suggestions on what to use to insulate the lines with? Prefer the non-ghetto method if possible. |

I had a '70 Ford Torino back in the day that did that too, I used self adhesive pipe insulation on the metal fuel line to cure it. |
