Kevin Osborn Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Hi all, I’m considering installing a Filter King fuel pressure regulator on my 1147 Spitfire. Where is the best place to locate? Appreciate any suggestions. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needle valves and floats have been replaced and the dreaded ‘slivers’ removed and fuel filter fitted. I wondered if anyone can suggest a convenient place to locate the regulator between the pump and carbs? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
