What exactly is the problem ?  Lots of folks use "vapor lock" to cover
several different conditions, so it's important to ask.

If it's true vapor lock (fuel boiling in the line between the tank & pump),
then you'll need to either cool the line somehow, or keep it under more
pressure by adding a pump in the rear.  Frequently, a sheet metal heat
shield around the exhaust (where it's close to the line) will do the trick.
