Ok, How come then, when I park my car in the hot sun all day when its 95F out, isn't the gas boiling in the tank when I go to drive home? Keith Here's the MSDS I quoted: http://hazard.com/msds/f2/bvg/bvgzs.html Boiling Pt. is 77F, 25C If you peruse other MSDSes on this site, you'll find gasolines with even lower boiling points. It's fairly surprising that gasoline has such a low boiling point, huh? It does explain a lot when you consider problems such as vapor lock or this FI-specific problem. Your engine compartment doesn't necessarily need to be too hot to get the boiling off of liquid. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
