As others have stated, a fuel return line can help in some cases. Where
it's less helpful is when cars have a low hanging metal fuel tank with no
non-metal barrier between it and asphalt. The radiant heat coming
off the road on a hot day can heat fuel in the tank to +100F with enough
road time.


Sunoco's write up on Reid Vapor Pressure if interested:

I did a search and found a Sunoco station close by that sells these different grades of fuel. Do they need to be used by themselves or can you mix with conventional fuels (understanding that you dilute the capabilities of the Sunoco fuel in doing so). Do you risk any damage to rubber seals/gaskets/Orings by using these higher grade fuels?
