Percolation? Heat soak? Don't drive during summer??

Full throttle and cranking will clear a flooded engine, should not take 30 minutes to clear

Last time it died when I drove it to the gas station, the car wouldn't start for about 4hrs.... i left the car and went back after waiting 2 hrs and it still wouldn't start. So left it and went back another 2hrs, at that time it started.
