I agree  with Ron that a vehicle
being driven does not vapor lock.  


 
I will agree that the Corvair is much less likely than other cars to have  
vapor lock while running. However, most vehicles with a rear fuel tank, front  
engine and engine mounted mechanical pump - can easily (Hot day, climbing 
hills)  be prone to vapor lock. Once, when towing a Corvair race car with a  
V8-engined Chevy Van, I had to remove the electric pump from the race  car and 
install it on the Van (On the side of a freeway) to make it into  town. I powered 
the pump off the taillight circuit. (Jackleg engineering, I  admit) - I made it 
to the race! - Seth Emerson
