Gasoline and operating factors affecting vapor locking tendency of European cars were examined; test procedures employed were CRC method with modifications, critical fuel system temperature technique, and hill-climbing technique; first technique was shown by consumer reaction test to induce vapor lock at ambient temperatures at least 11 F lower than required in normal service; variation in vapor locking tendency for cars of given make and model had standard deviation of 0.61 lb RVP, (Reid Vapor Pressure); tendency of gasoline to give vapor lock was predicted better by combination of RV P and front end slope than by some other volatility expressions.
