I just had my fuel pump and carb rebuilt for my 1948 2262 sedan. My mechanic insisted on using black rubber hose to prevent vapor lock. Fuel pump was not working when purchased so I have an electric pump with a large filter between it and the fuel tank and a filter between old pump and carb. Fuel is filtered twice before going to carb. There was lots of rust in both units although tank had been cleaned and coated several years ago. I am now using ethanol free gas only. Car is all original except modern fuel filters and rubber hosing. I drove 200 miles in 95 degree heat with no problems. 70mph on the interstate and everybody passed me by.
