Has anyone every had issues with their Ford 4000 vapor locking? I can plow with my tractor for about 30 minutes and then all of sudden she starts to miss and sputters. You can see the air bubbles blowing down into the sediment bulb in the fuel. You can take the cap off the fuel tank and actually see the gas boiling a little from the heat off the engine. I have my heat shield in place, I took the thermostat out so the water runs completey through non-stop and my tempature doesn't get past 150. I wrapped the fuel line in tinfoil to help protect the line from the heat and I even put a piece of insulation board between the fuel tank and heat shield to help block heat. And last but not least I even mixed a little diesel fuel in with the gas to help make the gas a little thicker and that still didn't help. Would anyone have any ideas of what I else i could try? Thanks

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
