    Why become a Subscribing Member?

    • In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
    • We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).
    • Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I have an SI-S or S1-E with sparcraft wings. My gascolator did not provide enough filtration for the Ellison TBI. I know others, with Ellison, have had this problem. None of the gascilators offer the filtration the Ellison needs. I replaced the gascolator with a Fram HPG-1 fuel filter. It looks like a gascolator and filters to 25 microns. It's rated to flow 90 GPH. The filter eliment is large and replacable. I installed a drain on bottom and have an access door under it where the gascolator was.
The Ellison webpage suggest and Glassair builders dothis rather than using a gascolator.
I just finished andhave run the engine, but not flown.
My question - has anyone done or know someone who has done this to a Pitts?
