Very interesting. Mine does it a little also, and mine has all new components and vacuum lines plus all new evap components on the tank. I have read that sometimes it still happens with fuel injection vehicles, but very rare. Im real curious to have him fill up with the E85 and see if it fixes the problem. I was surprized also when two different techs at two different Chevy dealerships told me they run into this often out here.
After doing some research i found it is very common on earlier fuel injected jeeps. And they have specific fuel rail kits with heat wrap and heat shields. Also found that guys that have offroad LS fuel injected engine race vehicles have heat soke issues and they wrap their rails and fuel lines. This is where i got the idea of doing the wrap.
Might be jumping the gun here, gotta wait and see. He stated he ran no ethanol gas from maverick but made it worse on recommendation from dealership. Looking it up, 10% ethanol gas boils at 140 degrees, non ethanol can start to boil at 110 degrees. E85 is 173 degrees F. I have heard the gas boiling on older muscle cars out here durring the summer. Its crazy when you can hear it, like a pot of water on the stove.
