pour some ice water into the tank see if that helps. if not your going to need to adjust the flux capacitor, maybe align your muffler bearings, try adding more blinker fluid. maybe its as simple as turning on the a/c to cool it. but if all else fails id just "hit the gasser, go faster, all youll hear is dual exhaust....flow masters" sorry if this isnt the answer your lookin for but i was bored at work.

Clothes pins on the fuel line will help get rid of the heat.

Perculation was once a big problem with carbed cars. The fuel does boil in the lines as you explained . Seen it many times. Best bet is to keep the lines away from heat and convert to a feed return system.Newer carbed cars had a 2 line system even on a low pressure engine pump setup. Camaros and GM cars cured this with a return line Once the fuel is moving in the lines it cures the issue. EFI cars do not do this as they have return lines and the lines are all under pressure right from the tank. As i said pressurized fuel lines wont boil the fuel.. Some newer cars do not have a return but the higher pressure in the lines from the tank prevents the issue. So mount a pump in the rear of the car or better yet inside the tank and reroute the lines in the engine compartment away from the heat and you will be OK. Good luck .

wrap the lines with heat tape or something, steel braided aint gona help.or reroute the fuel line, u can go up behind the firewall an motor an then just turn your fuel line back wards, looks clean that way an no heat.

A return style fuel regulator will help cool the fuel
