This might work if the surface is packed down pretty good. I tried some narrow
hard rubber wheels on my proto type but they would dig in with the wings folded
on my gravel driveway. You could probably easily put a pair of the harbor
freight pneumatic wheels on it for use on a soft surface.

I have an STC for use on Certified aircraft. You will have to send me $25 if you
want to use it on a FAA certified aircraft. No permission required for use

It is the older ACS gascolator=2C the screen I am using is the finest one t
hey offered. It is pushed up from the bottom and probably filters before t
he output. Would rather have it the other way but if the screen was blocke
d there would be limited amount of fuel in the sump. Thanks for the reply.

Clint, mine is from Aircraft spruce too. I bought it about 1999. The fuel comes
into the bowl through the hole in the center of the round screen. It is designed
this way so any debris will be seen when a sample is taken from the drain
on the bottom of the bowl. The fuel then goes up through the screen before
it continues down stream to the engine.

The gascolator should be installed at the lowest point of the fuel
system.... making it the sump.
The screen in the gascolator should be of a size small enough to block
particles that may affect the fuel pump. Fuel filters... If you feel you
need one should be between the pump and the carb... fuel filters ( true
filters ) should not be used upstream of the pumps. If large commercial
airliners and small GA planes don't have filtration upstream of pumps and it
is actually illegal to install such filtration, then why is it that The 'Fox
needs it?
I know I'm in for another roasting on this one but I feel my training holds
true for this.
I really don't see the advantage of glass case filters. If you give up
flying the plane to eyeball the filters and find the fuel is not flowing
then you have to ask the question just what is the engine running on? If
your engine quits and you then notice the fuel is not flowing through the
filters what does it do to alleviate the problem?
