How do you prevent Vapor Lock

[Bobandbadger]

Hi i have an 1983 Chevy S-10 4x4 with a 2.8 Carburated engine. My problem is vapor lock. It gets warm here in summer so when truck gets hot it will stall. I have to wait awhile before she will crank again. Anybody have any ideas on preventing from happening. Thanks Bob

check all your rubber fuel lines over time they get real soft and when its hot out side they can suck together or vapor lock , replacing those on a cherokee 2.8 i had fixed the problem the one comeing out of the tank to the hard line was my culprit
