I've never noticed any difference with whatever fuel I put in the RP. Melted lard (chip fat) seems to work just as well... however my problems with vapourisation have stopped since I swapped the 26VA to an SU H1 (and fitted a 4 blade fan). The difference though is that Bob's RN is a front tank model, gravity fed. Fuel in a rear tank should theoretically stay cooler. More annoying for Bob than the rest of you because he lives where it tends to be a bit warmer than the UK...
As an aside I knew someone with a Reliant Scimitar that suffered from constant vapourisation problems. It was finally rectified by the creation of a cooling duct to push colder air from the front of the car to the carb area to keep the temperature down, and a heat shield to shade it from the exhaust.
