The mod I sent you incorporates a forward bulkhead and a removable panel
where the Mono wheel would normally be. I mounted the gascolator about 200mm
forward of the fuel selector on the inside of the now disused mono wheel bay
low down so the its drain could be accessed easily and assumed I would
remove the outer floor panel to service the gascolator. I mounted the
electric fuel pump on the forward bulk head and piped the output up and out
of the top of the centre section under the instrument module and across to
the far side of the starboard foot well top corner.

Subject: Europa-List: andair gascolator query
I've got an Andair GAS375-M gascolator that I plan to fit in the same
compartment as the electric fuel pump. Obviously it is desirable to have it
mounted with the bottom near the bottom skin of the fuselage so that the
drain can be easily activated. However, it's necessary also to have room to
remove the bowl. That means cutting an access hole in the bottom skin. Has
anyone already got a LAA mod number that includes that sort of thing?
I suppose (plan B) it would also be possible to mount the gascolator
sufficiently high that the bowl could be removed from inside the aircraft,
but that would mean the drain would be a long way from the fuselage floor
and so not easy to operate from outside. Maybe it could also be operated
---From inside if the sample cup is small enough?
Any thoughts?
in friendship
