Does a vapor lock lock you in or out of your car?
Vapor lock occurs when the gasoline vaporizes between the tank and the engine. This occurs when the fuel line is routed around the engine so that the fuel is heated to the point of vaporization. When this occurs the engine will run roughly and will lack power because of the inconsistent amount of liquid fuel reaching the carburetor's, or fuel injectors.

How do you get out vapor locks on F250?
Are you certain that you are having Vapor lock ?? I haven't seen a true case of vapor lock in years...and i own a shop. Vapor lock (also called percolation) occurs when the gasoline in the fuel line boils. the fuel must get very hot for this to happen. Usually it happens on a hot summer day and the fuel line is placed too closely to an exhaust manifold. In almost every case of vapor lock i have ever seen, the car was not fuel injected but carburetted. The cure is to re-route the fuel line away from heat sources under the hood. But i must say that i would be surprised if you have an actual case of vapor lock. It is rare.
