Yes, a gascolator serves two worthwhile functions.  Separates out the water

Unless you have a system like Ed Andersons,  the boost pump is not needed if
you keep the pumps at or below the fuel tank level.

 A basic question that I have is how fine a filter does one need?  100 micron, 30 micron, 10
micron.  The screen in the gascolator I have is said to be >100 microns.  Anything smaller would
easily pass through our high flow injectors; so . . .
