I removed the gascolater in my RV-4  about 2 years ago and installed an 
automotive type in line filter  in the line from each tank to the fuel valve. 
  This doesn't remove any water but will catch all the trash.  Call it a 
"trash filter".  It has worked fine and was  brought on by finding lots of 
small specks of black proseal in the tank drain. All  the water is drained 
from the tank.  In my case I also have a 13 gallon tank in the bagage 
compartment which also has an inline filter.  The filters have a large 
capacity and only need to be  replaced at annual or later.  A futher 
advantage is that this set up also reduces the possibility of vapor lock.  
FWIW   Frank
