Well, vapor lock has nothing to do with the type of fuel you're running.

While unleaded autogas provides sufficient octane

additives in autogas and some components (particularly seals) in some
aircraft fuel
systems.
Hmm.... either there are two Matt Barrows (using the same e-mail address)
or else he is schizophrenic. Judging from some of his political views, I'd
say the later is a distinct possibility.
