VW Beetle 1303 S with Facet fuel pump and Petrol King fuel pressure regulator

VW Käfer 1303 S mit Facet Benzinpumpe und Petrol King Benzin- Druckregler

Here we present a lightly tuned VW Beetle 1303 S.

The Volkswagen 1303 series was built between 1972 and 1975. This model was manufactured in 1973.

The owner from Lübeck had a Facet fuel pump and a Petrol King fuel pressure regulator installed to operate the EMPI dual carburetor system.

This version of the fuel pressure regulator is designed exclusively for carburetor models.

The fuel pressure regulator prevents pulsation of the flow generated by the fuel pump.

The formation of air bubbles in the fuel is avoided.

For setting the fuel pressure, a glycerin-filled manometer in stainless steel with a pressure range of 0-1 bar is used.
