sotxbill, I disagree fuel pumps were installed to prevent vapor lock. They were installed because fuel tanks were placed below the carb. The 32 Ford for example put fuel down low and had to have a fuel pump to get fuel to carb. That is when vapor lock problems started with Ford.

The fuel pump will then pump and any vapor that may happen near the engine is pushed on by the pump just as gravity (head pressure)pushes when the fuel is higher than carb. Did you ever see a car, tractor,etc. with gravity fuel system and a fuel pump?
