Abstract: I discovered a little issue yesterday with my Ximango I thought would be worth mentioning. After returning from my western trip last month I changed the oil and filter and while I had the cowl off I sumped the Gascolator. Until yesterday I hadn't flown since returning from Minden/Parowan and changing the oil. I think the Gascolator in mine is an ACS part. Machined aluminum, anodized gold.

Something to keep an eye on when you sump your Gascolator.

Great thought John. Any time you sump the gascolator on ANY airplane you need to double check the drain valve. All it takes is a tiny piece of crud between the "O" ring and the seat for it to leak.
