I just finished a 10 minute dash to the past on the internet looking at the=
clothes pin remedy. We might as well start talking about motor oil again.=
Hope not!!!!
All kinds of claims and reasons why clothespins works or not.=20
Lets run this bit past the mechanics/engineers/experienced AH owners (that=
=E2=80=99s all of you) out there. How much fuel pump pressure does it take =
to overcome the bubble caused by the vapor lock? It was suggested it only t=
akes 5 PSI.

Hi Gary -=20
If you start hearing the pump run really quickly, it can be indicative of v=
apor lock getting back into the fuel line... can happen at the end of long =
trips.=C2=A0 It's because the fuel starts vaporizing around where the line =
goes into the floats, and the float jet then is no longer cutting off fuel =
flow because it is pushing vapor into the float bowls, which leaks out the =
overflow tube.=C2=A0 As long as your car is running it should be okay, you =
might use more fuel than normal.=C2=A0 Try wiring a piece of wood to the in=
coming fuel line - this is an old trick with Atlantics to act as a heat sin=
k on hot days and stop vapor lock on the Atlantics which use mechanical fue=
l pumps.
Best,
