2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission FASS ans stock fuel filter?

[MrDiesel]

I got a used FASS 150/95. I'm getting conflicting opnions on how to hook it up. Did you guys run through your stock F/F canister or by-pass it all together?

You can hook it up either way.

Here are the install instructions... ... .

I recently put one on mine and ran it through the stock filter, but I just got the pump, I would think if you got the one with the filters you would bypass the stock filter.

I took off my stock filter and cleaned up under the hood some.

I bypassed my stock filter and also removed the stock filter assembly to "clean" up that side of the engine.

FASS 150 and stock fuel filter, I figured I'd rather change the filter standing up than on my back.

I plumbed mine though the stock filter figuring that when it comes to filters more is better and the stock filter should only plug if all else fails.

If you remove the stock filter you are also removing the fuel heater, correct? SNOKING

OK Dan... what would you recommend? I'm in northern IN. I park in the garage over nite but at work out side some times 9+ hours. I'm going to install Mach 4s (and more), looking for around 500 RWHP. Will running through the stock filter cause a restruction? Or shoud I by-pass and hook up the fuel heater on the FASS?

no problems with out my fuel heater in Michigan and have been down below

-15 last winter. Truck used to sit outside in those temps for 12 hours while at work. I use stanadyne performance. Not a single problem. Oh I have only ever plugged my truck in once, just to see if the block heater works.



As for WIF sensor that is true you lose that, but I drain my seperator every fill up and never had much, if any water.



Just my 2 cents

Asking me personally from my experience? Ditch the filter head and run the FASS direct to the VP. If it gets below 10*F for a long period, just make sure you have additives in the tank. Remember, that heater in the filter head will do nothing for the fuel in the tank if it gels up and clogs the FASS filters. Running a good additive keeps this from happening for most in the lower 48. AND our pumps are strong enough to flow cold thick fuel. I don’t even think you need to hook up the FASS heater... ...



The only reason i can see someone wanting to run the filter head it the WIF sensor. AND even then, if you drain your WS on every fill-up, you should be fine.

That's what I'm gonna do... . run it straight to the VP, I ordered a FP port from Poole today. Hope I can get it back together before Indy!
