Dangerous Overheating = gas evap

Im not sure if this is suppose to be in the cooling topic or not... but after 40 minutes of driving on the freeway my temp was about 230, and all of a sudden when I step on the gas, It feels like no gas was coming out and I and other people in my car smell this burning smell.. I got freaked out because the car would not accelerate when I stepped on the gas instead would make this noise like "vroooouuuum vrouuuwooom wooom wooom" so I quickly turn on my emergency lights and pull over to the nearest shoulder.. We were all worried n ****.. because the car was handling well except for the 2 worn out tires in the front ... anyway I pop open the hood, get out of my car and check to see what is wrong.. and I see nothing wrong no leaks anywhere! just a hot *** engine. I then close the hood.. and go back in my car and we all decide to wait 20 minutes with the hood open to let the engine cool down some.
(I had a half tank left of gas left)

My Diagnosis: (SOMEONE CORRECT ME IF YOU SERIOUSLY THINK IM WRONG)

Maybe the tempature rise in the 305 (230) caused the fuel in the fuel lines to evaporate while it traveled to the engine, maybe one of the fuel lines is loacated near the exhaust manifold making this fuel evaporation possible, but I think in order to make the fuel evaporate there has to be a hole or a opening/vent for the evaporated fuel to travel out of..making that a dangerous problem
(fuel leak).

Please can someone help me or give me any advice?
