Fuel sample drain

[Vf24renegade]

Has anyone with the 1/2 vw, added a drain valve at the low point in the fuel line to sample for water? I dont want to add the weight of a gascolator if i can avoid it. I have a filter in the line. If so, id be interested to know what you all came up with, not whether you think one is needed or not. Thanks

Don't know if this is helpful, but I made a gascolator/filter assembly from a Kubota filter. The quick drain is threaded into the base and sealed with JB-Weld Polyurethane Plastic Bonder and has not leaked on my test stand. It has a nipple for a vent line, if you need it. I have not weighed it, but it feels very light. I also like the fact that you can see any trash or water in the clear plastic bowl.

Pistachios always good!
