Brief Description: Fuel valve and gascolator location

Someone asked where I mounted the gascolator. It is between gear legs, when plane is sitting the gascolator drain is at the lowest location. Image 1 -- top view Image 2 -- underneath. Fuel lines not yet run from fuel valve (bottom outlet) back to the gascolator. Image 3 -- with sheet metal, the gascolator clears. I need to replace the drain with a simple flush unit (hangs out too low!).
