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

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