Abstract: The BRST quantisation of the Drinfeld - Sokolov reduction applied to the case of $A_2^{(1)},$ is explored to construct in an unified and systematic way the general singular vectors in ${calW}_3$ and ${calW}_3^{(2)}$ Verma modules. The construction relies on the use of proper quantum analogues of the classical DS gauge fixing transformations. Furthermore the stability groups $overline{W}^{(eta)},$ of the highest weights of the $calW,$ - Verma modules play an important role in the proof of the BRST equivalence of the Malikov-Feigin-Fuks singular vectors and the $calW$ algebra ones. The resulting singular vectors are essentially classified by the affine Weyl group $W,$ modulo $overline{W}^{(eta)},$. This is a detailed presentation of the results announced in a recent paper of the authors (Phys. Lett. B318 (1993) 85).
