A gascolator on a fuel-injected engine is a bad idea imho because of the
pressure drop across it...lowering pressure on the suction side of the
engine-driven fuel pump. That could contribute to a vapor lock scenario
under extreme conditions. The fewer things you SUCK fuel through, the
better. This is the same rationale for putting the fuel flow transducer
where fuel will be PUSHED through it, not SUCKED through it (put it in the
metered fuel line). In my opinion, having both a gascolator *and* a filter
is just asking for it.
Anyway, I recommend against using a gascolator when you have an injected
engine. The AFP pump/filter setup should filter out any particulates, and a
little water (which is unlikely anyway) actually won't hurt much imho in the
case of FI.
Just my 2 cents!
