Re: Vapor lock cure for carbed engines

NOT REALLY. You see,a lot of the driving is in temps that are 78 PLUS(meaning higher)temps,in heavy city traffic,and pulling loads. SO,YES, it does occur,and quite frequently,with the E-10 fuels.
At times, (such as last summer) we can reach temps of 90-100 f.,so laugh all you want...at 61 yrs old, I don't feel like setting along the road,in the heat !
Also,I am moving to ARKANSAS,in a couple of months,which,as you MAY know has a LOT higher temps,and I want to be sure the problem is gone!
Oh,and by the way...E-10 fuels will boil at lower temps,and only have a shelf life of 100 days. Also,anything more than .5% of water in it,can render E-10 ethanol fuels unusable ! That's only 4tbsp,per gallon !
