I'm not trying to beat this horse to death, but this question has been irritating me.

We spent a lot of time discussing how the fuel that is firewall forward gets hot and boils, therefore, the fuel had to be routed someplace where it could cool.

But what happens in carbuerated systems?  There is a bowl there collecting and holding a 1/2 cup of fuel along with the delivery lines and the pumps only deliver a few pounds of pressure vs the 10's of pound in an injected systems.  How do the carbs get away with it?
