I have a Ford 960 - 4 cyl that when it was used for heavy work in hot weather would boil the gas - long before we had 10% ethanol mix as we do now. I assume you are talking about an older 4 cyl 4000 . 2 solutions mentioned below- be sure oem tin heat sheild below tank is in place , run with gas tank 1/2 full or more - near empty it boils really fast.A couple more thoughts - Ford dealers used to swap the old gas caps for a vented cap , and I also re routed the gas line out from behind the manifold - out over the manifold with a little air space . Also check manifold /exhaust for leaks which could concentrate the exhaust heat and intensify the problem . Finding non ethanol gas varies state to state- not sure where you live , but here in NY we have had 10% ethanol blend mandatory since 9/09. My Impala lost about 2 mpg after the switch.
