My van ('81 Westy) would definitely vapor lock an a hot day if I drove it until completely
warmed up and then shut it off for 15 or 20 minutes.  When I would come back, it would start
and run for a mile or so, then quit.  I rerouted the gas line to get it further from the right
front of the engine where it comes throught the firewall, and the problem went away.  It never
pushed any gas out anywhere, though.
