In New York it all has ethanol in it. Not that anyone wants it. And we still pay road tax at the port fuel pumps...... All I'm saying is if you have knock sensors and wand to run slower or detonate your motors run **** fuel.......

No it's an additional pump that helps to push the vapor "bubble" through the upper fuel system and through the injectors.
One was just posted for sale. I think I paid about $400 for my kit - this one is cheaper.

What are the add on pumps you mention ??
Is the main issue just a heat vapor lock type issue or do the fuel pumps get week over time ?? I'm the type if the two fuel pumps were just showing their age I would replace if I knew it would solve the issues.
Thanks to you all for your input. It's very much appreciated. SJ

did u ever get anywhere on this? had it home last week and I found the return line from the bottom of manifold plugged solid, I think the line has deteriorated due to ethanol, I unclogged it, ran all new lines, put a can of k100, and filled up on non E and did not have a issue last weekend, I will know more after this weekend it is sposed to be hot, but so far I thinking maybe that clogged line, but what throws me off is the fact that both motors were plugged, only having a issue with the port, we shall see,
