HAHAHA OK Sure. Had it many time, many vehicles. AND Cured it every time. Vapor lock in a suction line of a mechanical pump is for sure a thing. Had it many times with my 455 until I switched to a Elec tank pump. Not stalling, but not starting after 3 min to 40 min off time when hot. Mech pumps hate sucking air and boiled fuel makes nothing BUT air
