DESCRIPTION
The **SA3‑10‑A‑D Gascolator** is a FAA‑PMA / STC‑approved fuel‑system sediment and water separator featuring a 4 oz drainable bowl and a top‑mount cover with remote‑drain design. Machined from 6061 aluminium and anodised for corrosion resistance, the unit uses an O‑ring seal and a bayonet‑tab bowl locking system, eliminating older wire‑bail or thumb‑wheel designs. The remote‑drain bowl allows draining of water or sediment without bowl removal, helping maintain clean fuel delivery and improve fuel‑system reliability. The top‑mount configuration enables installation in aircraft requiring a top‑mounted fuel‑strainer arrangement.

## Applications
- Sediment and water separation for piston‑engine aircraft fuel systems using ½″ internal‑diameter fuel lines (3/8 NPT fittings)
- Replacement or upgrade of factory glass or older metal bowl strainers to a modern 4 oz drainable gascolator
- Routine maintenance or pre‑flight inspections requiring periodic draining of water or contaminants without bowl removal
- Retrofit for aircraft requiring top‑mount fuel‑strainer installation with remote drain capability
