Hi,

So I'm going to replace my Wobble Pump with an electric pump (probably a Facet), and of course there are now downstream decisions to make in doing this. My intent is to do what makes sense, while minimizing re-fabrication as this will be done while doing my annual, so panels removed etc. The current configuration is: Wobble pump just left of rear seat, with the gascolator in that location. So the questions in my mind are:
  1. Where to put the new fuel shut-off valve?
  2. Where to put the gascolator?
It seems that the simplest solution is the put the valve where the wobble pump was, and to leave the gascolator there as well.
Thoughts?

Thanks for your feedback.
Scott
