Many of us are using the Andair small gascolator, designed for the job and
unlike both the Purolator filters and the ACF gascolator sold by A/Spruce
it is an engineering work of art and will stop water without blocking and
without the high risk of air leaks. Water and muck will drop to the bottom
and should not accumulate anyway because of the daily checks.
