1931 Coupe - A month on the road across the USA

[JayJay]

Nasty blowout!

Clothes pins on the fuel line are purported to inhibit vapor lock. Likewise aluminum foil. Don’t know if either works. Last summer on a trip to New Mexico I had vapor lock issues on my ‘31, wrapped some foil on the fuel line and didn’t have any further issues. Don’t know if it was the foil or just driving conditions. I also carried a Tee shirt in my cooler to wrap the fuel line when it happened, but when you vapor lock it’s never under the most comfortable conditions to be sitting at the side of the road.
