Should the metal fuel line connect to the carb or can it have flexible fuel line the last few inches to the carb? I'm having "vaporlock" problems and am looking for solutions. Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 14, 2011, 5:31 PM Post #2 of 3 (2771 views) Re: 1977 Ford 351C Sign In A flexible line is fine with a carb. The pressure is usually under 5 PSI. Vapor lock occurs when the fuel line passes close enough to a heat source to boil the fuel. That won't happen if it's not routed near the exhaust. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

I suggest double clamping, check for any leakage and think about re-routing it away from heat. Think hard and secure line so it can't rub anything as OE would do. You could do this with metal if good with a tubing bender, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
