This is the one many Sonex builders use.

Just don't buy the ACS gascolator...........note Sonex Revision 10.19.15............as previously reported, you'll want the Usher gascolator. I write from personal experience having had to pull the ACS product from my Sonex to replace it with the Usher. More details are available if anyone cares to know why.

I have a brand new one that I do not intend to use. It came with the kit I bought. If you want it I can ship it to you for free and it would be $60.

me too... dont need no stinkin gascolator

don't use the gascolator. use a filter and save yourself the burps. Ask me how i know.

You guys that eliminated gascolator...do you have photos or drawings of your filter installation?

I don't have a picture but it is simply on the engine side of the firewall on the fuel line. Then into a stainless steel braided hose to the AeroCarb. Make sure the entire fuel run is downhill with no part of the fuel line lower than the carb inlet. I also used pipe insulation from Menard's homebuilt supply to wrap the fuel line and filter. Covered that with aluminum heat duct tape. burps eliminated! I change the insulation and clean the filter at annual. never found anything in the filter when I opened it.

What fuel filter are you using?
