Yeah, I thought of that, too, but the water would have to get past the
gascolator first. I have seen other planes done like this, and my inspector
at the time didn't have a problem with it. I would be more concerned if the
loop went upwards, and get trapped air slowing down your fuel flow, which
would not be good with a gravity feed system.

On my new O-360 Lyc installation, the gascolator is also too close to the

degree outlet from the gascolator and then up to to a 90 degree inlet to
the carb. Not ideal, but I had the same situatiion with my old 320 (even
though it was further back), and it worked fine, providing plenty of flex
between the carb and gascolator.

Hi Walter That would work but I'm trying to keep a steady slope from the
gascolator to the carb. I read somewhere that a loop like that could
collect water and freeze or send a big slug through all at once.
