Had one on my IVP and found after many hours that there was some conflict w=

I have a quick drain (different manufacturer, but same concept) installed o=

s to date) It has all the benefits you describe, and my engine is clean and=
 dry to this point.

I recommend you very carefully check the clearances with the gear linkage w=
hen you install one of these. With that consideration, I think they are a g=
reat addition to the airplane.
