Which outcome occurs when volatile liquid fuel flash-boils?

💡 Explanation

When flash boiling occurs, the liquid rapidly transitions to vapor via homogenous nucleation because the vapor pressure exceeds ambient. Therefore, vapor-lock induces fuel starvation, rather than detonation and other combustion problems which rely on different reaction mechanisms.
