55 Fargo Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Okay good and hot earlier today, drove to local small car show in the 55 Fargo beater truck. The truck runs at about 170 or so, park, notice she is bubbling in the see through fuel filter on fuel line just before the carb, no leaking at base, it may have dried fast before I took notice. I was talking with an old timer, with a 1948 D 25, He tells me his fuel never gives him any trouble, look at his 218 flattie, and fuel line no different than mine. So what the heck??? Wonder why He doesn' experience this, He still has a 6 volt system, says He has no trouble with hot starts, I don't either, with the 12 volt, but with the 6 volt on the 47 Chrys, if it gets good and hot, and fuel boils, I have a bitz of a time startin her......

Jeff Balazs Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Could it have something to do with the under hood temperature of the different vehicle designs? Perhaps the temperature under the hood in the truck is different than in the car? May have something to do with the different hood and shroud designs. I ran into something like this years ago with a sports car I had. The earlier production years had some louvers in the hood that were omitted in the later years. As a result the temp under the hood in the later models ran considerably higher and caused the electronic ignition module to fail prematurely. Once I added additional ventilation the problem went away for good. Jeff Quote
