Triumph Spitfire Fuel System
The Triumph Spitfire fuel system delivers petrol from the tank to the engine with precision engineering that reflects British automotive excellence. This system comprises several critical components working together to ensure your Spitfire runs smoothly and efficiently.
Your Spitfire's fuel system begins with the fuel tank, typically located at the rear of the vehicle. The mechanical fuel pump draws petrol through fuel lines and filters before reaching the carburettor. The carburettor then mixes the fuel with air in the correct proportions for combustion. Each component plays a vital role in engine performance and reliability.
At Rimmer Bros, we stock genuine and aftermarket fuel system parts for all Spitfire models. Our experienced parts advisors understand the nuances of different model years and can help you select the correct components for your restoration or maintenance project. We maintain extensive inventory levels to ensure quick dispatch of your orders.
Standard fuel system components requiring replacement include fuel pumps, carburettors, fuel filters, fuel lines and tank sender units. The SU carburettors fitted to most Spitfires are particularly well supported in our range, with rebuild kits, needles and float chambers readily available. Our Heritage Original Equipment parts are sourced from original tooling whenever possible, ensuring an authentic fit and performance.
Whether you're rebuilding a fuel system after storage or upgrading performance components, our technical knowledge helps you achieve the results you want. We supply both original specification parts and improved alternatives where beneficial. Our 105,000-square-foot warehouse stocks over 52,000 part numbers, providing you with access to the parts you need when you need them.
The fuel system's reliability directly affects your driving enjoyment. Poor fuel delivery can lead to running issues, reduced performance and potential engine damage. Regular maintenance using quality parts ensures your Spitfire continues to provide the spirited driving experience these cars are known for.
