Default Re: gasoline

I drove my 1939 Ford Pickup last August to a hardware store. I made it about halfway home before it stopped. I had to have it towed home. I did some research and think it was a vapor lock. I did some additional reading and some of the posts stated that the ethanol/gasoline vaporizes more quickly and that can create a problem. I have since just purchased ethanol free gasoline and so far have had no problem. I also added an electric fuel pump which seems to help for putting gasoline to the carburetor after a long period of no starting. No problems so far.
