SB,

I agree with the above posts about the substance we laughingly call gasoline. The 10% alcohol seems to have a boiling point of about 110 degrees F or so...

One thing that would be fairly easy to try - maybe, depending on your location - would be no alcohol gasoline. It's available in lots of places and costs very little more.

Other than that, I faced the same problems for over a year with "gasoline" boiling in the float bowls and causing problems. I tried lots of things: return lines, insulators, heat shields etc etc. Finally it looked like my options came down to aiming an air conditioner vent at the float bowls, or switching to fuel injection.

I selected the latter.

Good luck with finding a satisfactory solution,

Tom
