Great evening to the gurus of this great forum.
I am in the final stages of finishing up on this project. One of my last 2 missions is to resolve the vapor lock. I plan to purchase the WIC 33040 fuel filter with extra output for return..my thoughts are to route that return to the tank area and create a snug brass fitting on the rubber portion of the vent line.
Good idea or bad idea. I am attaching a pic.

I really think the brass fitting in the hose will leak.

Find a piece of tubing the correct size, put a nipple in the side and splice it in to the vent hose.

I think someone actually makes a tube like I described but I can’t remember who it was.
