I'm trying to find a gascolator that has remote cable operation for the drain.

  

 Anyone found one that works on the -10 with IO-540?

  

 Tim, what did you use??

From the fuel valve forward, I did everything per-plans.  I never

really got any water out of the forward sump on previous planes.

Usually just the wing sumps.  Hopefully that will continue.

I guess you can always add it, but I just don't know if it's

worth the effort or not.  I suppose it's a bad thing to find out

the hard way though.

As an additional reference , early in the life on my 76 Cardinal RG 

(purchased December 76) the FAA mandated a gascolator in the engine 

compartment. This was in addition to wing sumps and tank sumps below the 

forward seats. In 28 years of ownership I never found water anywhere but 

wing sumps. So after the first year I stopped draining the below seat sumps 

and later I no longer drained the firewall sump. The only benefit the 

additional sumps provided were additional Orings to change every few years. 

My Glastar has been flying three years without water any where and only wing 

sumps.

Over the years I have found significant water only 2 times. Both times the 

FBO who fueled the airplane was almost certainly to blame. Another reason to 

fuel and wait a few minutes to sump after fueling.
