Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Newly installed FASS questions

[JKuhl]

I installed the FASS system on my truck friday night, and I have a few questions, that haven't been answered in the other current FASS thread. My idle pressure is at 22-23 psi, the lowest I see is 20 psi. I have the 3/8 line from the FASS going direct to the VP. My gauge is installed at a tee installed between the 3/8 line and the VP. Is this pressure OK, its higher than what others have been reporting? And, can I remove the stock filter canister, guess i just want to clean up the eng. compartment some since its no longer being used. Thanks for the input.

I have the FASS 150 GPH. My pressures are the same as your. I no longer have my stock filter or lift pump set up.



The VP has a bypass back to the tank that opens at 14 psi. I have had my set up for will over 120,000 miles with no problems so far.



For the air filter get yourself a BHAF. I am at work right now but can send you a pic of the set after I get home.

Thanks, guess I wasn't clear, sorry bout that. I want to remove the fuel filter canister. Probably is pretty easy, guess I'll just have to do it this weekend. No light left when I get home this time of year. Thanks for the reply.

Make sure you either get shorter bolts or use a set spacers when you put the bolts back into the manifold after removing the canister. Other wise the intake manifold will leak. I knew you were talking about removal.

The OEM FF does provide heating for the fuel when it is cold out. I did what you are wanting to do, but I put my OEM FF back on when it got cold. I run stanadyne as well but liked the fact that I was also heating the fuel

Thanks for the heads up on the bolts in the manifold. Hopefully the stanadyne does it for me on the trips to Canada with the sleds, -30 does funny things to fuel, sleds... . people. Thanks.

You can get different springs to adjust the pressure from the place that sold you your FASS if you are interested... IIRC they offer a 13, 17, and 29psi spring.
