Locate the vapor lock in the car's fuel line. This is usually a small clear plastic or metal part with two hoses connected to it. It may also be called a fuel filter.
Loosen the hose clamps on both sides of the vapor lock. Place a small piece of plastic under the hose to catch any fuel that drips out.
Pull the hoses off the vapor lock. Be careful not to spill any fuel.
Take the vapor lock to a parts store and purchase a new one. Make sure the new part is the same size and type as the old one.
Install the new vapor lock by reversing the steps you took to remove the old one. Tighten the hose clamps securely.
Start the car and let it run for a few minutes. Check for any leaks around the vapor lock.
If there are any leaks, tighten the hose clamps until the leaks stop.
Tips
* If you cannot locate the vapor lock, consult your car's repair manual.
* If you are not comfortable working on your car's fuel system, you can take it to a mechanic.
* Vapor lock is most common in hot weather, so it is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms.
