A common racor to be used in these situations is the 200FG. Usually provided with a clear bowl but sometimes with a metal bowl. The metal bowls were provided as an option specifically for gasoline installations. These racors can be tricky to vent and fill completely, especially if the bowl is metal since you can't see if air is trapped. It was not unusual for me to need to "vent" more that a gallon of fuel before I got the bowl completely full. Here are 2 videos. One shows a mod that I made for venting the 200FG racor. The other shows my fuel mod using seal washers and fool-proof method for venting the fuel system.
