I would be if I still had my 170. I have the same amount of fear in an accident the thick glass cylinder would break as I do a metal can would be dented or deformed, breaking the seal and leaking gas all the same.

I still have the glass. I like being able to see if anything has made it to the screen.

Still have the glass (pyrodex) gascolator. Love it.

I had the glass bowl and was happy with it until it became difficult to get a gasket to seal the bowl without weeping. I them converted to the Steve's gascolator and it's working just fine.

Aircraft Spruce sells very good quality gaskets which work good and last a long time and are very inexpensive: They are labelled for gas cap gaskets…but they are correct for original gascolators and oil filler cap gaskets also. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/ ... ckkey=8058
