Didn't I do a write up on this install, I forget

Anyway ....

I installed the 150/95 FASS and I love it. I too was concerned with by-passing the stock fuel filter not because I wanted to further filter the fuel, but because I wanted to retain the use of the fuel heater. To be able to still use it but to eliminate the filter, I had to cut the top off of the old filter to use the top part because I needed the gasket to seal it up. Here's a couple of pics ...





I then ran the FASS line to the stock inlet at the top ( where it used to come from the stock pump ) and from there the fuel continues to trave out through the stock line out to your CP-3 as usual.



Fill the canister with diesel fuel before screwing it on and you'll be good to go.

Any other questions feel free to ask

 

ill have to keep that in mind the nxt couple months when i will do the install...

 

It really worked out well and I don't think it effected my fuel pressure at all ( 13 - 14 psi ) The fitting that comes with the FASS screws right into the top of the canister so I didn't need to pick anything else up at all. I used hose clamps as you can see but I've been told countless times that I didn't need to with that blue hose.

 

I've given this some further thought and research and come up with a couple of new points. First, the stock fuel heating element will do nothing to prevent clogging the FASS filter. So the heat needs to be at the FASS filter or inline prior to. Second, I've read alot of different articles and one mentioned that the pump itself is hot to the touch which may transfer enough heat to prevent waxing. Many of the other inline heaters available utilize engine coolant so I may go ahead and use the coolant ports on the FASS. Thanks again for everyone's input.

 

Honestly I think if this was a big problem FASS would have addressed it a long time ago. I wouldn't hestiate one bit to get a FASS. Any install help needed, feel free to ask. In the meantime, check out these two links to further see what you're getting into.
