[Shotimes] SHO shutting down when hot

[Donald Mallinson]

Fuel injected cars almost never get vapor lock, that is when 
gas boils in the line and vapor does not pump well!  Fuel 
injected cars have a MUCH higher pressure in the line, and 
that raises the boiling point so high that you would have to 
route the fuel line unprotected right up against the exhaust 
manifold to cause problems.

There IS a return fuel line to the gas tank and venting 
system, that if it gets messed up, will cause problems.

A low fuel tank (until VERY low) won't cause the problem you 
mention.

Have your fuel system checked for proper operation.
