In 1958 the Coordinating Research Council conducted an extensive series of vapor lock road tests at a centralized location to study the effect of test variables on the hot fuel handling characteristics of passenger cars. Two years later, another test program was carried out at a common location to determine the hot fuel handling characteristics of a selected group of 1960 cars, employing the vapor lock survey technique developed in the 1958 program. The results obtained from the two programs indicate that this technique provides a satisfactory basis for defining the more severe vapor handling characteristics of automobiles in a relatively short time.
