Paul,
Why use a gasolator if you have a sump tank with the outlet a = couple inches=20 off the bottom of the sump? Won't the sump tank catch the water and a = strainer=20 stop the big stuff. The sump is checked before each flight and a = gasolator=20 isn't. Go straight to the FP then thru a fuel filter and then the fuel = rail.=20 Eliminates the restriction, weight and connections to leak. I am = beginning=20 to lean towards in-tank pumps with built in strainer since all this = has=20 come to light.

Hi, Kelly....the efi pumps are the = last item=20 before the fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator. Here is the basic=20 system...  The fuel in the main tanks goes downhill to the fuel = selector.=20 Fuel then goes downhill again through the Facet pump into the top of = the sump=20 tank. Fuel then comes out of the bottom of the sump tank through the=20 gascolator into the EFI pump(s), then to the fuel rail with fuel = pressure=20 regulator attached, then that returned fuel goes back into the top of = the sump=20 tank.  That is the complete system. Take care. Paul = Conner
