This one is ideal for kitcars with carburettors …

During the recent hot weather, many kit and classic car owners may have experienced hot starting problems associated with fuel vapour lock on cars equipped with carburettors.

DEI’s new Vapor (note US spelling when ‘Googling’) Block™ Fuel Line Sleeve provides an easy, sensible and low cost solution that prevents rough idling and difficult starting caused by vapour lock.

The sleeve has been designed to greatly reduce heat in the fuel line thus keeping the fuel cooler and below evaporation point. The sleeve installs easily thanks to a split design and adhesive flap. There is no need to disconnect the fuel line to install. Simply wrap Vapor Block around line, remove the adhesive release liner and press the adhesive back flap into place.

The product is made from glassfibre and polyester laminated onto an aluminium outer layer. It offers excellent long lasting thermal protection and avoids expensive repairs or modifications. It is currently available in a 5/8in pipe size with a 16mm inside diameter. DEI Vapor Block Sleeve can be purchased online or wherever DEI line and hose protection products are sold.
