James, the Corvette folks I deal with use those spacers with good results.

Hi Danny,

 

The problem does not happen in my garage in San Francisco. Of course, the temp there is between 60F and 65F 99% of the year. In Winters when it gets over about 85F I notice it.

My understanding of percolation is boiling fuel bubbling out into the throttle bores after hot shutdown, flooding the engine and causing a hard hot restart. Is that your experience? 

 

Any pre-emission V8 parked hot in a sealed garage will smell of fuel for several days or as long as it takes for the bowls to dry out.

Hi All,

 

In San Francisco it has never been an issue with fuel perk on shutdown. Too cool 99% of the time. However, at our Winters house, in the Sacramento valley, when I park the car in the garage and close it up, I can smell the gas for a couple of hours.

 

Has anyone had any luck using a something like this:

Thanks, James

 

 

PS, I do plan on sleeving all the steel fuel lines from the frame rail up to the fuel pump and carb at some point. But that will do little for the perk.
