I have a 1998 Powerquest with the same vst systems in my 502 efi/mpi. Did all of those engines have this vaporlock problem? Also, am under the impression that this is happening due to heat from the engine raising the temp of the gas? Is this correct?
I even run (2) blowers.. Merc wants the mpi motors to run at a certain temp. but then in another right up they don't want the fuel to get that hot beause iit can cause a vapor lock.. DUUHHHHH... so I'm running the returns back to the main fuel fill... will post pics when done.. |
So silent lucidity you are going to use two of the 2" tee's? I have twins also ,i thought you could run 1 tee 2" and tee the two lines into that

I then bought another 3/8 female NPT s/s bung.. I'm taking it to my local machine shop to have them drill and weld the other bung on it.. That way their is no flow restrictions.. I always use S/S braided lines with AN fittings.. Cost more but so much better and easy to check, remove, tighten whatever.. Like they say set it and forget it...:lolhit: |
Ok that sounds good ,I will do same thing
|
YIKES,, all the fittings and braided lines was about $231.00 to do two motors,, Will take pic's when done for future use if anoyone has to do the same CHIT to there water scooter. Hope worth it... VAPOR LOCKING BLOWS A_S....
Used to crack me up when you idel out of a dock with 20-30 people watching and somone says " GET ON IT" so you lay into the throttles (nice and smooth) and sounds goooooooooooood them POOOOF-hack-hack dead in the water... WTF. |
Why use expensive braided lines and associated fittings for return lines. Just use good premium pressure fuel line hose and pushlok hose fittings. Save the dollars and use them on added performance items or extra fuel to keep boating!
