My Cub has its stock glass gascolator and I was wondering if anyone knew what it’s capacity is ?

I recently read that a gascolator, pre regulation should have a capacity of 1oz for every 20 gallons of the aircrafts fuel capacity.

That got me thinking.... I have a stock header tank and a 13 gallon wing tank (per data plate) with a total fuel capacity of 25 gallons. I’m wondering If my gascolator should have been upgraded to a larger capacity.
