Tech Question
Peter Johnson, Edina MN, 1963 Dodge 440, 440
I just finished reading Project Bold Beeper, Installment #13 and you mention a few times under the picture captions about installing and benefiting from a fuel vapor return line. The benefits were not apparent to me so could you please tell me what they are and how they work?
Thanks, and this is a great series.
Pete-
The vapor return line stops the all-too-common symptoms of fuel percolation and vapor lock. Some common manifestations of these maladies are:
> The carb floods after the engine is shut off on a hot day
> The car "runs out of gas" on the highway - with a full tank
> Restarts after a hot-soak are very difficult
The fuel-constantly-thru-the-carb setup I described in detail works best, 'cause it actually "liquid cools" the carb, but even the simple 3-nipple fuel filter is a great, easy upgrade.
