Hi Curtis,
Take a look at http://europa363.versadev.com/jan-01.html, it might give you
some ideas on how to fit up your gascolator.
If you wish to do away with the rubber hoses you can purchase some tank
outlets from Graham Singleton which allow you to use standard AN fittings.
Regards, Paul

Hi all out there.
Have been away for a while due to work obligations and am now baci to the
most favorite peoject. I purchased my kit from another builder with the
cockpit module installed includeing fuel tank and controls of course.
Having not done this part of the construction, I find some things not shown
in the manual and hope someone out there can shed some light.
On the line out of the main tank side, there is a tee between the tank line
and the fuel site line. This tee has a six-inch hose on it with a 1/8" male
threaded fitting. I suppose it would be for a drain, however, the original
builder had intended to fit the 914 engine and I am using the 912. I know
that the 914 has two fuel pumps but the 912 install manual only deals with
one and I thus don't know how the second one is plumbed in. Does this tee
---From the fuel sight line have anything to do with that?
I am also going to install an Andiar mini-gascolator. Where have others
installed one in the fuel system and what should be used for a quick-drain
---From the bottom of it. How about easy access to a quick drain for checking
for water in the fuel.
This forum is a god-send to those of us building in remote areas! Many
thanks!!!!
