Gentlemen,

could anybody confirm that the glass tube gascolator is no longer approved?
Heard that as a unconfirmed rumor. Engine is a Cont. O-300-C.

Also it is dripping a bit after pulling the strainer - any good place to get new gaskets?
(Unless the whole thing needs to be replaced if the glass tube thing turns out to be true)

The glass gascolators are original... and STILL LEGAL. (How DO these goofy rumors begin?)

You can get the gascolator gaskets from Cessna, Part Number 33-199-6 . Contact Hill Aircraft at: 800-998-7832

I have always found the gaskets for the glass tube gascolator available at any NAPA parts store. Just take them an old gasket for a sample.
