RE: [T3] Wish me luck!


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?

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.
