if the header tank is the low point of fuel on a tail dragger, what is the point of a gascolator, other than it has a filter screen.

When in level flight it may now become the lowest point?
my 2 cents anyways?

Aren't we concerned about lowest point at preflight to check for water.
Is the gascolator necessary for additional fuel hold closer to the engine?
I utilize mine as the filtering element in the fuel system.
I do not believe in filters on gravity flow alone (between the wing and header tanks).
Av8r3400, are you saying you don't want any additional restriction from the tank to the header?
Well, I've gotten enough water out of my gascolator to say that it has a necessary function.
