also what better for the fuel a canister or a spin on

 

I preffer spin on fuel filters, easier service. The fass has a fuel heater that you plumb into to your engines coolant lines if you wanted. If your worried about fuel gelling, just dump in some stanadyne or powerservice in the tank. Also once you get the truck running, the vp44 puts out a lot of heat. It warms up the fuel flowing back to the tank. You'll want theFASS with this p/n FASS 150/95-1008 . The 95 gph is good up to around 500 horse and is about all your stock pickup tube is good for.

 

I got around the whole fuel heater issue by simply continueing to use my stock fuel heater

Here's how i did it ...

The stock fuel heater is located where the stock fuel filter is. I didn't want to continue to use the stock fuel filter because i didn't want to restrict the flow from the FASS at all ( and I didn't feel like maintaining another filter ) Doing this added one challenge that I figured out a way around.

The stock fuel filter holds the gasket the seals the lid and the canister. To be able to continue to use the gasket, but loose the filter, I cut the filter away and just used the gasket.

Here's what it looks like ...

Cutting away the stock filter



The newly trimmedgasket installed on the canister



Next, I removed the stock fuel pump along with the stock line that ran from the fuel pump to the canister. I now screwed the FASS fitting onto where the stock linewas. Your new FASS will have all of the nessary fittings.



The fuel now travels from the FASS, now goes through the canister where the heater and WIF sensors are, and finally to the VP-44. I've had my set up like this since day one and I get 14 lbs of fuel at idle, and it drops down to 12 lbs at WOT. I couldn't be happier

 

thanks jake great info on he FASS .... Also Mayfair have u ever had problems with ur K&N filter on teh turbo

 

No, no problems to report with the K&N. I clean and re-oil it at every oil change ( 5000 miles ) I've had it for years with no problems at all.
