Default Re: How do you stop vapor lock?

For you that believe that ethanol is a cause of vapor lock, the opposite is actually true. Ethanol boils at 173F. Gasoline starts boiling at 90-100F. In addition, gasoline is substantially easier to vaporize than ethanol.

Ethanol certainly has some down sides, but contributing to vapor lock is not one of them. In fact, the more ethanol in the gasoline, the LESS chance you have of experiencing vapor lock.
