Boiling Gasoline!!!

I own an '89 IROC Z28 with a 5.7 TPI. After about an hour of driving the
car, the fuel pump will start to whine and actually cause the car to
stall. If you pull the cap off of the gas tank, you can actually see white
smoke coming out from inside of the tank! I have replaced the pump, the
regulator, filter and have blown the lines through with air pressure. The
engine stumbles as if it is "running out of gas" when the whining starts.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, PLEASE let me know!!!

your problem sounds like the vent for the gas tank  if it plugs up the
tank cannot replace the used fuel with air creating a vacume     the
pump struggles to suck up fuel,starts to overwork(whine) motor lacks
proper fuel pressure  sumbles and dies out.  quick fix  about 10 bucks
some use an external tank breather  others just the fuel cap  either way
cheap and easy fix
