I have a 3/4& CTS water line coming in from the city water company and I need to find a fitting to connect it to 3/4 CPVC. I bought a big brass 2 piece fitting at Lowes. But 6 months later the O-ring went out and started leaking. Will Sharkbite fittings work on CTS pipe?
I agree on the carburated usually but it also can happen in the fuel lines. vapor lock is literally a bubble that stops the fuel from passing. the answer an electrical fuel pump as close to the fuel tank as possible. they dont vapor lock. Get a good one if you go this route theres junk out there thats cheep but perform poorly. the heat spacer thought was great as an additional assurance adds a tiny bit of performance as well.
Vapor lock can be caused by a few things. Fuel pressure too low Lack of return line, fuel sits in lines and pump, heats up and boils out. Harder to heat up moving fuel Main supply line or fuel filter too close to heat source (exhaust, engine block, heads) picks up heat and again boils away Fuel sits in carb float bowls, picks up heat and again boils away. To prevent vapor locks.. Make sure all lines, filters, etc are away from heat, wrap them if you have too. Make sure you have good fuel pressure Run a return line from pump or engine mounted fuel filter back to fuel tank. Use some type of valley pan under intake to keep hot oil from hitting bottom of intake Set carb up in a cold air type intake system so only outside air is drawn into carb.. That will help to cool the sitting fuel alittle Use a air gap type intake that has a space between carb mounting pad and bottom of intake.. If last resort you can install a fuel cooler, placed in front of rad. and hooked inline with fuel line.. It's just like an ad on auto transmission cooler or engine oil cooler
I'd like to do B and then A :)
if you in uk then it fire hydrant,no clue about america
One thing that a lot of people don't understand: The reason carburated engines get vapor lock and fuel-injected ones don't is because of where the fuel pump is. A carburated engine has the fuel pump mounted on the engine-a fuel-injected vehicle (almost always) has the pump inside the gas tank. So on a carburated engine, the pump is PULLING the fuel, on a fuel-injected vehicle the pump is PUSHING the fuel. If the gasoline turns to a vapor inside the fuel line, it is much easier to push the bubble through rather than pull it through. Pushing it will compress it and turn it back into a liquid. Pulling the bubble will make it worse and create a vacuum in the line.
