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

While unleaded autogas provides sufficient octane
to substitute for 80/87 avgas in low-compression engines, there are other
differences that can cause problems when using autogas in some engine
installations. The two most significant are lower vapor pressure -- which
can lead to vapor lock -- and incompatibility between some of the
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.
