I see the drain valve on the gascolator will protrude through the tunnel, but I've never seen an example of this. I'm also not entirely sure how the flush drain valves are installed. Should there be a closeout around the hole and valve, like a gasket or something, or is it just an open hole? I see most folks put the gascolator further aft and have a drain valve coming out the belly skin.
With it on the angled tunnel skin it seems like that might be path for weather to get forced in, especially if there's no closeout, as opposed to being parallel to the wind stream like those mounted through the belly skin. Is this any concern?
