Great gascolator with improved bowl sealing ring. The mounting hardware I used was a #30 Adel clamp around the bowl secured by a smaller Adel around the motor mount tube. One bolt through both Adels held the gascolator tight

very well made and affordable

The In my opinion the ACS HIGH PRESSURE GASCOLATOR is a huge improvement over the old style with the bailing wire. It is a precision machined part. The ACS description seems to be wrong. They state the Bowl is cadmium plated , that suggests the bowl is steel and will eventually rust when the Cad plating wears out like the old bowls used to. This is not the case, the bowl is machined aluminum with an anodized finish. Time will tell if it will last better than steel, but I expect it will, we have aluminum gas tanks and lines that outlast the old gascolators. One review said it needs a way to safety wire the bowl nut ring, It has holes drilled around the nut ring for that purpose. It was unclear whether a drain valve came with it, a Curtis valve is included. The first complaint I have is the 1/4 NPY ports were not tapped deep enough in my opinion. I could only get 2 turns on one and 2 1/2 on the other. I know the tapered fittings would probably wrench in to the recommended minimum 3 threads engagement. I wanted a bit more so I tapped them a couple turns deeper, an easy fix. The other complaint is that they didnt incorporate a good way to mount it. They could have included a couple of bosses on the top with cross drilled bolt holes. I used a stud with epoxy and a jam nut in the 1/8 npt primer port on top as I have seen others do. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars was the lack of a good mounting system. I know they sell a bracket for it, but Im using it in a Pitts S1S and wanted a solid attachment. I will buy again for other airplanes, but I hope they revise the design for better mounting.

Nice compact gascolator, good quality of construction. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is it would be better if it had a way to safety wire the bowl locking ring.

Very high quality fit and finish. I would have given 5 stars but the design provides no positive provisions for mounting it. Other than suspending it from the fittings (generally a poor way to go) theres no threaded bosses or tabs to attach a good mount to.
