Aerolab Flush Mounted Filter Gascolator
Aerolab Flush Mounted Filter Gascolator
Flyboy Accessories is proud to be the exclusive distributor for the Aerolab Filter Gascolator. This new, top-quality, flush-mounted filter assembly, made by Aerolab in Italy, has been designed to be installed inside the fuselage, flush mounted in the belly skin. It can also be flush mounted in other convenient places, like inside the wing or under the cowling.
The Aerolab Filter Gascolator is designed to be an easily serviceable fuel filter, with gascolator functionality built-in. The unit mounts flush on the belly of the airplane. You can install a single Aerolab Filter Gascolator just before the electric fuel pump or set up the system to use two filters, one in each fuel supply line.
The Aerolab Filter Gascolator is easily sumped with a standard fuel tester, and it’s easily serviced from the outside of the aircraft where there’s no risk of a smelly fuel spill ruining your interior like a can-style filter might do.
The unit has a stainless steel pleated filter to catch even the finest debris, a positively locking cap, a flush sump drain in a streamlined housing, and readily available O-rings should you ever need one. The units have been pressure tested up to 100 PSI (0.7 MPA) and may be installed in the pressurized section of the fuel system.
It is our opinion that the Aerolab Gascolator is far superior to any other fuel filtration device found on any light aircraft. We also believe that it should easily meet the Canadian requirement to have a gascolator installed on the aircraft.

Great Service
This filter/gascolator solves the issue of servicing the filter element inside the plane. Installation was very easy and I would recommend using the optional steel drilling template. I installed it on my RV-9A under an Andair fuel selector valve. The 2-1/2" opening allowed pneumatic squeezer access to dimple and rivet a doubler along with dimpling the mounting screw holes using a modified yoke. I Highly recommend this product!
Installed in Glasair II-RG. It replaces the standard firewall forward filter.
Due to it's small size, it can be installed
in front of the right side rudder pedals.
The fuel is cold and it is easy to service.
Very well made product and it’s convenience clear !
We have installed two flush mounted gasculators in our RV14A. A very clean installation.
This is a must installation for all fliers in Canada that must use a gasculator.
And for the rest of you, think about it.
A great product
