I finally got my FASS pump mounted, wired and plumbed.
The bracket that comes with it has it mounted where I have my Nicktane filter so I had to move it farther back and monted to the fender brace instead. Works good there and since it's not mounted to the frame I hardly hear it in the cab with truck off, when the truck's running I can't hear it at all.
Pump put's out 10 psi with truck off or idleing,
Instead of using the supplied return line adapter that goes in line with the filler hose I tied the return line into the Fast fill kit external vent line that I added in the fall, most of the fuel runs down the vent hose and some comes back up the line to just under the cap.
The pump made a big Diffrence to my VA 200hp box, helped solve a lot of the bursting and crappy running that it was doing between shift's. Run's strong in all the gears now with out too much of a complaint.
If you have a big HP tune you definentlly need a lift pump.
Now I have a seperate fuel/water seperator, a 10 micron filter, then to the Cat 2 micron filter, then up to the factory filter water seperator.
Don't think the fuel can get much cleaner now, plus the FASS pump is constantlly reflitering a lot of fuel at 150gph.
The pump is a flow thru design too, I tried turning the pump off while driving around and the truk still goes good, didn't want to push it though as the factory pump has a lot of resistence now to suck through with all the extra filter's.
My new Supertank should be here soon and when it does I will install a fuel feed standpipe in it to suck fuel from within an inch of the bottom of the tank, plus I'll add another standpipe as a return pipe from the FASS pump that will also go down to within an inch of the bottom of the tank but towards the front of the tank instead, that way there won't be much agitation of the fuel by spilling it into the tank through the factory fill hose.
And I'll keep the factory fuel pickup modified with my Trippin larger pickup cup and larger lines. I'll put a T between the lines with shutoff valves and see which way work's better as far as fuel starvation when running on a near empty tank.
That's my mission for the summer.
Here's some picture's:
