Hi, I'm Tham from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I own a very old 1981 Toyota Corolla KE70
saloon, with a 1,290 cc 4K engine. If my email
seems out of place here, I'd like to apologize
to the forum moderators and other users here. I had been having lots of problems with the
engine sputtering and almost dying out in hot
weather, so someone said it might be vapor lock. Searching around the net for solutions, I found
the following article on your website here : http://www.ytmag.com/articles/artint69.htm
At the bottom of the above article, the author, Curtis,
mentioned wrapping the fuel line in aluminium foil.
I was wondering, would this mean that the shiny side should be facing inwards or outwards ?
I have just wrapped my fuel lines from and to the
fuel pump as suggested, and am afraid I might have the shiny side facing wrongly. What might happen if I did ? Thank you very much for any assistance. Best Regards, Tham
