If you’re like most drivers, you know all too well the frustrating experience of vapor lock. It’s that moment when your car’s engine feels like it’s struggling to keep up with your demands, and you have to fight against the temptation to pull over and give up. Vapor lock is caused by a build-up of vapor in the engine, and there are a few things you can do to prevent it from happening. The first step is to make sure your car has enough fuel. Running out of gas can cause your engine to run hot, which can lead to vapor lock. If you’re driving on long trips or in hot weather conditions, make sure to fill up before you go. Another thing you can do is keep an eye on your fuel gauge. If it starts dropping quickly, that means there’s a build-up of vapor in the engine and you should stop and fill up as soon as possible. And finally, if vapor lock does occur, don’t panic – just take a few deep breaths and try to relax the car’s muscles as much as possible while waiting for it to clear up on its own. ..
