Scott,
Sometime, put a bucket under your gascolator, open the drain and time for a
minute. See how many gallons you get. (GPM gravity feed)
I'll bet you're sucking fuel out of your tanks anytime you have more
throttle in than say- low cruise.

In other words, the engine pump can draw fuel from below itself - like
out of very low wings. Hmmmmm... I wonder. If the pump is actually
sucking on the fuel line does that lower fluid pressure allow it to vaporize
more easily? Especially, can this occur if the path to the pump or
the pump itself is heated somewhat? Does this set up pump
cavitation? Certainly a boost pump could maintain a positive
pressure at the engine pump inlet.
