The term used to describe when fuel vaporizes in the fuel pump, blocking the flow of fuel to the engine, is "vapor lock." This phenomenon typically occurs when the fuel temperature rises, causing it to vaporize and create gas bubbles in the fuel lines, which disrupts the normal flow of liquid fuel. Vapor lock can lead to engine stalling or difficulty starting, especially in hot weather or under high-performance conditions.

What happen if the fuel tank of your fuel injection vehicle is blocked?

Vapor lock occurs when?

Gasoline vaporizes in a fuel line and obstructs the flow of liquid fuel.


Would a blocked thermostat force water out radiator?

No, a blocked thermostat would not force water out of the radiator. A blocked thermostat would prevent the proper flow of coolant through the engine, leading to overheating and potential damage to the engine. Water may overflow from the radiator due to other issues like a malfunctioning radiator cap or pressure buildup.

Will the heat riser restrict flow?

Yes, a heat riser can restrict exhaust flow if it becomes clogged or blocked due to carbon buildup or debris. This can lead to decreased engine performance and efficiency. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the heat riser are important to prevent restrictions in exhaust flow.

Why might a 2001 Olds Alero GL stall or cut off at speeds between 5-60 MPH with no codes being set?

I'd check the fuel filter first. When fuel flow starts increasing, if the filter is partially blocked you will not get sufficient flow to operate the engine. The computer cannot easily detect any difference between a blocked filter and an empty tank, so auto manufacturers do not throw a code for blocked filters.

What is the stream function for an incompressible flow and how is it used to describe the flow properties?

The stream function for an incompressible flow is a mathematical function that helps describe the flow properties by showing the flow direction and velocity at any point in the flow field. It is used to visualize and analyze the flow patterns and streamline shapes in the flow field.


Why does the engine overheat?

AnswerBecause the engine cooling fan does not work properly or does not work at all.There are many reasons which may cause Engine overheat. the above is also one of them.Loss of coolantloss of coolant because coolant leaks from anywhere on the cooling system.Loss of coolant because radiator cap is broken and will cause overheat.Loss of coolant because radiator cap pressure is less than the required.Loss of coolant because compression leak in to the cooling system.Radiator internally blocked. (Heat exchanger blocked, if equipped)Radiator externally blocked. (Air flow blocked)Engine Overloaded (engine can be overloaded because of loss of power due to malfunction of some parts, in this case there must have other symptoms).Thermostat does not direct water circulation to the Heat Exchanger.Engine mechanical condition is not good (Power balance)Engine ignition timing is retarded.After a repair Engine started to overheat.(AC or Radiator fan is rotating wrong direction, polarity changed)
