I am guessing you are referring to a 4 cylinder 4000 which has the same engine as the 800-900 series Ford . I have a 960 Ford. It is semi-retired now but 25-30 + years ago I did a lot of heavier work with it- baling hay, tillage and running a silo blower. On a hot day usually doing some disking when the gas tank got below half full the gas would boil and have the same effect as vapor lock- tractor quit. I rerouted the fuel line out over the top of the manifold with a section of brake line and it pretty much solved the problem . This was before the E10 gas - I don’t know if the ethanol fuel would be more susceptible to boiling or not.
