Also note that hurrricane has a dial switch and a reserve tank, both left & right are sumped together as main tank in the Hurri, no such design in a Spit.
Fuel consumption Spitfire II PNs although they only specify maximum rpm and boost.


Later Spitfire PNs were much better at giving fuel consumption for several engine settings: Mk VII and VIII PNs
