Fuel line sleeves are designed to prevent vapor lock in fuel systems by reducing heat in the line to keep fuel cooler and below boiling. This stops fuel and other fluids from boiling due to extreme heat. Fuel line sleeves are made of glass fibre and polyester laminated to an aluminium outer layer, offering excellent long-lasting thermal protection.

What You'll Learn
Fuel line sleeves prevent vapor lock
Fuel line sleeves are designed to prevent vapor lock in fuel systems. They do this by reducing the heat in the line, which keeps the fuel cooler and below boiling point. Vapor Block™ fuel line sleeves are made of glass fibre and polyester laminated to an aluminium outer layer. They are easy to install, with a split design and adhesive flap. To install, simply wrap the sleeve around the line, remove the adhesive liner, and press the adhesive flap into place. There is no need to disconnect the fuel line.
Vapor Block™ fuel line sleeves are available in a range of sizes, including 0.375" (10mm) I.D. x 36" and 5/8" I.D. x 36". They are designed to solve the problem of fuel and other fluids boiling from extreme heat, which can cause a vapor lock situation. Vapor lock can lead to rough idling and difficult starting.
DEI Vapor Block™ fuel line sleeves offer excellent long-lasting thermal protection without the need for expensive repairs or modifications. They are a cost-effective solution to prevent vapor lock and keep fuel systems running smoothly.
In addition to fuel line sleeves, there are also heat shrouds and heat shields available to protect fuel lines from extreme heat. These products are designed to reflect and dissipate heat, keeping the fuel line cool and preventing vapor lock. They are typically made of high-temperature-resistant materials such as aluminium or stainless steel.
