You'll probably have to just physically trace out all the hoses and figure out where they lead. I've never seen a gascolator with four holes, they generally have just an inlet and an outlet. If it has a manufacturer's name and model number on it, you might be able to get some information from the manufacturer.

I've been scouring through 43.13 and I can't find this anywhere. Am I missing some vital information? My Zodiac kit didn't come with nearly enough washers if this is the case. Do I need to re-do all of my bolts?

The Construction manual just shows a pump and a wing tank. The rectangular aluminum gascolator has 2 input, 1 output and a drain hole. Don't know where to mount? What I don't see is any tank selector switch/valve in his parts box... Could someone email that 6-s-1 sheet showing the entire layout? Thanks ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 04:19:56 PM PST US From: Juan Vega Subject: Re: Zenith-List: 43.13 One washer under the Nut, and the key is no more and no less than 3 Bolt threads showing, if too many show either you go to the next shorter bolt or add one more washer.
