Fuel regulators.

Guys, need some insight here.

Car very much a wip at the moment; however I have a carb rated filter king; now due to space and other reasons, I was wondering if a fuel king could supply a pair of 40 DCOE's at max chat without the need for the bowl of fuel underneath?

Obviously other filtration will be required.

cheers.

Sure the bowl was more a filter housing/sediment trap than regulation function providing you have a decent pump volume and your pressure reg doing its job your good to go

Hmm Carbs run at a low pressure settings relying on flow to prevent starvation [all things being equal].

The 85mm bowl is fed under pressure from the pump lets say 5psi and the regulator takes that down to say 2.5/3.

However does the bowl provide a reservoir of fuel in case of a dramatic increase in fuel required??

Having dismantled the filter king, I can see how the pressure setting is fixed mechanically at whatever and that's it, does the bowl provide fuel to be drawn forwards into carbs in the situation described above? No I don't think so, because during the set up pressure/flowrate would already be optimised at maximum consumption rate...

However I have been wrong before. lol.
