[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Fuel Pump Question

["Robert" <baddassgremlin@xxxxxxx>]

Yes, that filter might have had just enough crap in it to effect the 
performance. Another thing that keeps coming up in the group is 
possible vapor locking on many of our cars. Just because the fuel 
line is right where the factory put it, does not mean that it is not 
too close to a heat source. You may have to reroute the fuel line so 
it is further away from the heat source. But try this first: wrap the 
fuel line with plastic wire loom that is slightly larger than the gas 
line. This will insulate the fuel line a bit from the heat, and you 
could even buy the colored wire loom if you wanted something besides 
black. If you think that the plastic loom will melt because it is too 
close to something,,,,,, then the fuel line is too close to that heat 
source and should be moved. Bob in MN.
