I have a problem with my fuel delivery. I have a glass fuel filter and pressure guage on the line and when i first start it up i have 5 psi. But after the engine heats up the pressure drops down to about 1 to 2 psi and fuel is barley going through the glass filter. anyone seen this? I just put the new Holly Truck Avenger carb and electric fuel pump on my 85 Jeep that has a 350 in it. Any input to this problem would be appreciated. thanks scotte

The only time I have seen this is when the strainer in the tank gets plugged.

"Vapor Lock" has also been used to describe what happens when you get water in the air intake. The water gets vaporized in the engine and causes many bad things to happen to the engine.
