<VV> Vapor Lock?

[Ron]

As I have frequently said, it's my belief that a running engine will never 
vapor lock providing the entire cooling system is stock with all shrouds and 
seals and that the fuel system has not been altered so as to provide a hot 
spot in the gas line.  I've run my sedan at highway speeds in 115 degree 
ambient conditions without a problem so I'd guess that your problem is 
somewhere else.
