What fiasco? Aside from replacing the gasket every once in awhile is there a
flaw in the original gascolator I'm unaware of?


In addition to Jonathan's comments, the "base" (the top part) of original
Cherokee gascolator has a tendency to warp. Once that happens, no amount
of tightening of the thumbscrew provides a good seal. The new Piper part
has a much beefier base, and shouldn't have the warping problem. I'm not
familiar with the alternate gascolator referred to in Jonathan's original
post.
