## Discrepancy

WE WERE AT FLIGHT LEVEL 210 IN NORMAL CRUISE. WE HAD BEEN AIRBORNE FOR 2+ HOURS. THE MASTER CAUTION ILLUMINATED SPORADICALLY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD SEE IT WAS FOR A FUEL PRESSURE LOW LIGHT. THE CAUTION LIGHT ON THE CAWS PANEL EXTINGUISHED BUT I WENT THRU THE LOW PRESSURE PROCEDURE FROM THE QRH. WHILE RUNNING THE PROCEDURE THE SAME EVENT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME. I DECIDED TO PERFORM A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING AT KITR AS IT WAS THE CLOSEST ACCEPTABLE AIRPORT. THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE QRH PROCEDURE.
