All I can find so far is "the Shilling modification (re.Mrs Shilling) became standard equipment by March 1941 but the problem was not properly fixed until a new kind of SU carburettor was fitted in 1942, with a further improvement among two stage Merlins during 1943 with an improved Bendix-Stromberg carburettor..."
But again I'm certain I've read references where its initial introduction was during the later stages of the BoB. The point is probably mute.
Alpha, the MkI Spit and Hurricane modelled I believe both already have the fuel surge issue. The MkI Hurricane additionally uses a variable pitch propeller with no constant speed mechanism (it represents export Hurricanes fitted with finnish props I think) and has a maximum boost of +6lbs (it was +6 and not +8 on standard grade 87/100).
