Paul,
I have just had a look at your fuel drain, gascolator setup. It looks really
good. Can you tell me why you didn't go for the Graham Singleton tank fittings
that drain from a position just out of the tank? Was it because you only wanted
one access hole, not two? Interested in your ideas, but it certainly looks good
on the web!
