Gascolator Cleaning
 
I would appreciate some guidance on cleaning the gascolator on my -8. Here is a picture. Is this the standard Van's model?

Thanks

Cleaning? Moving?
 
How about moving it?
It looks way to close to the exhaust pipe for my comfort!
Maybe it is just the camera angle.

I don't have one of that model, but you should just remove the 4 screws holding the bowl on, to expose a filter screen. In my gascolator, I clean the screen and replace the rubber gasket at each condition inspection.
Good Luck.

It's not as close as the picture makes it look. I'll post another picture tomorrow.

I think you answered my main question. The four screws are the key to disassembly.
