Hi Mark,

I would suggest that because there is so much room for fuel to slosh around=
 inside the gascolator.  This appears to me to have a self cleaning effect =
on the filter.  I think it is a better "filter" than an inline filter becau=
se the bowl would have to be full of a lot of sludge before fuel flow is ar=
rested.  With a smaller inline filter, I think it would take a very small a=
mount of garbage to clog the inline filter compared to the gascolator.  At =
least I think this would be true with the one that came with the firewall f=
orward accessories on my Legacy.  It also has a very fine filter, so anythi=
ng that makes it through should pass through the injector nozzles without t=
rouble.

Thanks,
Kevin
