What is this?

Daft question, but I don't know what this is:


Attached to nearside turret, in the fuel line. It ain't a filter, so it is a ...?

Thanks

And me. If you do a search for 'pressure regulator' I'm sure you'll find lots on here.

So is that a standard part as l've never seen that before....or has a PO put it there, and y ?

Non standard so It may be worth looking into why it has been fitted to your stag

Seems to be where the fuel filter should be. Is there a filter bowl underneath? Or has the filter been relocated?

It's a Filter King fuel pressure regulator, can be bought seperatly or together with a filter under. Many fuel pumps over pressure and can cause flooding of the carbs, use in conjunction with a filter. Leave it in place but check what pressure it is restricted to, should be around 3lbs.

also check you have a inline filter in place it should be where that is

[Stocky]

Thanks. There is a filter in-line, just before the regulator. I have no means to check the pressure but there is no overflow from the carbs and the car runs well, so I will leave well alone.
I have no idea how long it has been there or who installed it. There is nothing in the paperwork that I have.
I was just curious as to what it was, so thanks again for the info.
