Default fuel filter

I have an 01 Cummins and my lift pump went out so I ordered one, I was wondering if there is a aftermarket fuel filter sytem that I can put on a different filter like that comes with the FASS. I thought bout goin with that but I need to fix it so I just ordered one off ebay from Cummins with a low pressure light. I have searched lot online but I guess they don't make anything.

the filters you get for the FASS are pretty proprietary to the system.

If you go with the spin on filters you can get a smaller micron rating then the stock canister filter. But as long as the lift pumps are taken care of, the fuel systems (injection pump and injectors) on these trucks will pretty much outlast the piston rings. So there really isn't a need for a better filter imo.

well I don't know why mine went out but its been no longer then 2 weeks since it has been since it went out and I have been driving around but since I had my friend change the filter her said it was out so I'm glad he told me cause I dont want the injection pump to go out, I just dont know why it went out but my truck has been acting funny before I found out, I aslo do run B100 in it
