Default vapor lock

It is certainly an interesting subject and I suspect my CMP is doing it.
I have used aviation fire sleeving on the fuel line from pump to carby. Is this line the one that boils the fuel.

Surely this problem must have shown up in North Africa and PNG.

My wife's grandfather drove CMP's in New Guinea during WW2. They used to carry a bag of oranges. Simply cut an orange in half, Squeeze it onto the top of the fuel pump like using a juicer and leave it there.
The juice apparently evaporated,cooling the pump and the orange wouldnt catch fire.


Fruit for thought?
