![]() The vapor lock and freezing issues are resolved by the closeness of the pump to the tank, the shortness of the total line, and the whole thing is in as close to a controlled environment as possible on an LC. The whole fuel system is about 5 feet long, and none of it is exposed to possible damage ( from under the seat to the dash, the line runs through a copper tube, protects the fuel line and power line to the pump from feet, and easy to shape to follow the trany hump and up the side of the heater). No more problems with vapor locking or freezing, easy to trouble shoot and service. Then ran to a glass fuel filter under the dash that I can see from the driver's seat, then through the fire wall to the carb. After that, I took the line from my under seat tank (stock '76 position), put on a pet-cock, then a small electric fuel pump with a filter on the input, then a pressure regulator all this under the drivers seat. I had vapor lock problems a couple times, then one winter the line froze. I tired pulling the gas cap when it was vapor locked and blew air backwards through the vents into the tank. As soon as I hooked it back up, you could hear the fuel running all the way into the carb. ![]() Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix vapor lock Ive got a 65 convertible with a 289 and a 2V carb. The exhaust is on the other side of the truck. 10335 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by Guyzie1, May 6, 2005. Each time a rush of air would come out and then the fuel (from the tank side, not the hot engine side on the line). Went wheeling Tuesday and the engine was a little hot and each time, the electric pump could not push the fuel unless I crawled under the truck and disconnected the line just before the OEM fuel filer. The mechanical pump is still installed and works until the vapor lock problem. I installed an electric fuel pump directly under the tank with the fuel line as short as possible and still gravity fed. The fuel line is either stock metal tubing or 3/8 fuel line. ![]() Make sure that your barista is securely plugged into a power outlet. The green ready light is not signalling that the machine is ready. Try grinding the coffee beans more coarsely. If your coffee is spouting out more slowly than expected, it may be due to the coffee beans used. '78 40, 2F, stock fuel tank, confirmed the lines are installed into the tank correctly, tank is clean, all vents are clear and hooked up, no charcoal canister but the line is routed up the firewall above the tank with a small filter on it, gas cap vents, clean filter, no kinks in the line, and I rerouted the stock line so it is no longer under the frame. If you’ve ever turned on your hot tub only to find that nothing is coming out of your hot tub jets, its probably a HOT TUB AIR LOCK. Your barista is taking too long to make your drink. I am having vapor lock problems again and need ideas. ![]()
