I have never had petrol problems with my RK fabric saloon. The exhaust downpipe id lagged and there is an aluminium shield below the updraught carburetor.
On our trip down to Masham for one of Malcolm's runs we went a circuitous route and climbed over the highest paved road in England in very hot weather. At the top we stopped to enjoy the view. The car was a bit reluctant to start and ran unevenly for a short while and was then back to normal. The petrol in the carburetor was boiling. There has never been any problem while driving. The car is in regular use in all weathers.
