For reasons known only to him and God the builder of my RV-4 placed a gascolator in the forward tunnel in front of the battery and rigged a remote handle for actuating the drain. This, as can be seen in the picture, was clearly not done with serviceability in mind.
My question is, before I go to the trouble of disassembling a rudder pedal to try and unbolt this thing, how often is gascolator service actually required? If it’s not leaking and it drains clean, is there anything to do?
