I talked with Petersen about the PA-24. It hydro-locks the carb and floods
the engine, so no STC for it. Basically the opposite of vapor-locking AIUI... boiling
fuel pressurizes the carb and forces liquid fuel out. That's different from
vapor-locking where boiling in the lines prevents pumping and it goes dry.
