Modern Fuel Injection pressure would be anywhere from about 30psi to 60psi. (I've heard Jaguars do 200psi!).
Which would calculate to anywhere from 125 to 150 C (257 to 302F)
426.2 C (798 F) for the jag
I used a boiling point calc to figure this out, I _think_ it's accurate.

Vapor lock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But, from what I have read on wikipedia, vapor lock is more of a low-pressure fuel-line carburetor issue than a high-pressure fuel-injection issue.
Here are some fuel ignition comparisons :
Ignition Temperature of Gasoline
Code:
The minimum ignition temperature at atmospheric pressure
for some substances are:
Carbon 400 C = 752 F
Gasoline 260 C = 500 F
Hydrogen 580 C = 1076 F
Carbon Monoxide 610 C = 1130 F
Methane 630 C = 1166 F
Question: What would the ignition temperature be at modern fuel injection PSI?!?!?!?
