Over 30 years ago when I got my Bedford QL on the road, I wound asbestos cord around the petrol pipe from pump to carb and never suffered any annoyance from vapour locks. The route of the pipe goes from one side of the engine to the other, rising past the top water outlet on the head, so gets a lot of heat.
