Vapour lock= OutaGas

Boguing.
....I dont think mixing is guaranteed by smooth flight sloshing .In a seperate discipline we are warned not to rely on it to mix oil and petrol for 2 strokes.
.
...Now Mr Physics, tell us how much the boiling (gassing) point of hydrocarbon liquids goes down if its freezing(waxing) point has been Orientally cunningly reduced from -47 to -57 ?....Would it be as low as say +10 or +11 centigrade ?
...The same discipline warns us of the Vapour lock problems with usage of winter road fuel above around 7000ft.

Does the in flight fuel temp indicate prominently all the time ?(Seperate from TAT leading edge temp) or is there just a warning show at a value that has been preset according to the crews understanding of the specification of the uplifted fuel?
