Hi, I'm Tham from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I own a very old 1981 Toyota Corolla KE70 saloon, with a 1,290 cc 4K engine. If my email seems out of place here, I'd like to apologize to the forum moderators and other users here. I had been having lots of problems with the engine sputtering and almost dying out in hot weather, so someone said it might be vapor lock. Searching around the net for solutions, I found the following article on your website here : http://www.ytmag.com/articles/artint69.htm At the bottom of the above article, the author, Curtis, mentioned wrapping the fuel line in aluminium foil. I was wondering, would this mean that the shiny side should be facing inwards or outwards ?
I have just wrapped my fuel lines from and to the fuel pump as suggested, and am afraid I might have the shiny side facing wrongly. What might happen if I did ? Thank you very much for any assistance. Best Regards, Tham
