This was used to combat vapor lock. He said he would check his files. I will make it a point to talk to him next week.
Hi Chuck,
Can you explain more about the vapor lock? That sounds like one of my theories I had for my Toyota problem. Is that the fuel boiling in the fuel rail? Could that cause an over-rich condition?

Thanks,

Mike
