    Fuel Vapor Lock Fix

    This was brought to my attention on another car forum and I can say that I never heard of this. Who else has known about this?

    Never heard that.

    ...maybe just tape a large quartz crystal along the fuel line and you'll not only never get vapor lock but also 10% better gas mileage

    I bought one of those and only got 8% better mileage.
