The question oif gascolator/filters comes up regularly.

Both the Stearman and the Hartvard/SNJ/T-6 series had both. The water drains

are at the bottom of each tank. The gascolator is at the bottom of the

engine bay - last item before the carb. It is routine to check each before

every flight - although if at a training facility, the tanks are

water-checked only after each fuelling.

The explanation given is that the water-drains check for stored water in the

tanks (over-night or whatever), whereas the gascolator is checked for every

flight should foreign material be left or incurred in the fuel system

downstream.

Anyway, thass my story. And I have both.
