How to Prevent Holley Carburetor Fuel Boiling

Seems a bit strange that you didn’t have problems all summer before now. Was it hotter than usual?

Possible that you got a batch of winter fuel with a higher RVP? I believe the switch date is September 15. This has happened to me on hot days near the 6/1 and 9/15 transition dates having the high RVP fuel on hot days with a long engine run.

Knowing this, I work around it.


I’m not sure we switch to winter blend this early. The OP is fairly close to where I live.

I could be wrong though but I don’t think that happens until mid October.

It is strange this just started though.
