Re: Miserable time with Vapor lock With that Carter P4070, will I even need a regulator anymore?

Re: Miserable time with Vapor lock Well, before I was able to work on the bronco I started having trouble just driving to Denver from Conifer and back. Even in the cooler weather. Thought I might have electrical power issues or a dirty tank. Distributor, points or something from more research i did but the carter pump and new filters came in and I swapped them out. Now I only have a filter between the pump and tank and one under the hood. I took out the regulator under the hood. I still have the pressure gauge. That took out over a foot of line under the hood. I do not have a return line going back to the tank anymore. Made a run to Bailey and back from Conifer. No problem. Then to DIA and back. No problem. Then to Arkansas. Made that trip too. It would probably behoove me to do a tune up, not sure what the points are supposed to look like, and do a tank inspection. It has an after market 23 gal tank. I also need to figure out a wiring problem. My front flashers do not want to work when the headlights are on. Grounds and relays are the answers I am getting to look into. The rig came with a wiring harness an dakota digital gauge uninstalled. I had them installed by a shop. They had trouble with the switch in the column and had to go around it with a set of relays I believe but they did get it going. The gauge inside shows the blinker working but outside it is not so we shall see.

Re: Miserable time with Vapor lock Off road racers typically use a return line from the carb float chamber using a low flow Facet electric pump to return gas to the tank. Tricky to setup.
For the non race setup using a pressure reg with a return would work very good. That would mean the pump would have to provide excess pressure to let the regulator operate. I would use an electric one near the tank
Best fix of all is in in tank pump and a either a regulator or the Facet setup for fuel return.
IMO insulating lines and using special lines is a waste of time. Just leave the lines stock and implement a fuel return.

Re: Miserable time with Vapor lock Thank you for the info PaulW. That Facet system does sound tricky to me. So far the carter pump is doing the trick, without a regulator or return line. Well it has started leaking but a replacement is on the way.
