Interesting idea. I know that's the pipe that gets all the shielding and added doodads to cure vapor lock. From what I've read, not always successfully though.

It does run close to heat which undoubtedly contributes but have found it interesting that an electric pump at the back of car usually seems to resolve the issue for almost all. The pipe in question is most of the time under some pressure from the mechanical pump so would think it would not be the culprit as much as the feed line before the pump which operates under reduced pressure.

Since the usual electric pump installation pressurizes that supply line to essentially same level as the pump to carb pipe and usually ends complaints, would think the answer is more complicated than just one section.
