A gas separator on pipe structured to transport a liquid is provided. The gas separator includes a section of piping, located upstream of a pump, having an increased diameter which is in fluid communication with an overhead pocket. Fluid flow in the portion of the pipe having an increased diameter is at a slower rate than other portions of the pipe. The slower fluid speed allows entrained gasses to stratify and float to the top of the pipe whereupon the gas will flow into the pocket. Thus, the fluid downstream from the gas separator has a reduced amount of gas in the liquid flow.
