Fass 95 vs 150

Im having a tough time figuring the difference.
and the fact ive seen it listed 95/95 , 95/150 , 150/150 doesent help
the cost is the same it seems

the
95 is 95gph and for stock to moderate horsepower modifications

150gph for applications with over 500 horsepower

I have no mods currently and doubt I will go past a new exhaust in the future.
does the higher flow of the 150gph model help cool the vp44 better?

Any reasons not to get a high flow pump on a low horse truck?

Whats the real difference and what does the / mean?


I will fill out sig, 01 ram 3500 6spd

Found this, doesnt help me much whats the first 95 or 150 mean if the second is the gph of that model?

FASS Model Number / Flow Rate - Application Number. Typical application could include:
FASS 95/95-0000 means 95 series FASS system, 95gph flow rate
FASS 95/150-0000 means 95 series FASS system, 150gph flow rate
FASS 95/200-0000 means 95 series FASS system, 200gph flow rate
FASS 150/95-0000 means 150 series FASS system, 95gph flow rate
FASS 150/150-0000 means 150 series FASS system, 150gph flow rate
FASS 150/200-0000 means 150 series FASS system, 200gph flow rate
HPFP-95-0000 means stand-alone fuel pump, 95gph flow rate
HPFP-150-0000 means stand-alone fuel pump, 150gph flow rate
HPFP-200-0000 means stand-alone fuel pump, 200gph flow rate

Was told by a rep at midwest that the numbers are model/gph
and that it could be bad to use the higher flow pump on my stock truck.

so the FASS 150/95 is the one for me
the difference between 95 and 150 models is housing and filter size and the 150 apparantly adds 10000km to the filter change interval.

Why would a pump that flows more fuel be bad for your stock truck?
It is only pumping the fuel that the vp44 needs to the vp44. The rest is getting dumped back to the tank. The only thing that I can see running a 150 pump will do is filter the fuel more requiring a filter change more often. I just bought an Airdog Fp150 for my truck. The only mods I have are exhaust and the Edge Juice w/attitude, but for the same price I will not have to upgrade if I ever want to boost the HP.

I kinda wonder about this still myself

wouldnt the pump provide the extra flow only if the VP44 asked for it. any extra flow should be benificial to cooling the vp
I dont know but I better figure what i want quick.

The way that I see it, The pump will pump up to 150 gallons an hour to the VP44. The vp44 will use what it needs and the rest will bypass back to the fuel tank. The return system will limit how many gallons an hour returns to the tank. All the remaining fuel will go back to the tank from the fuel pump. The 95 would work the same way but only pumping up to 95 gallons an hour. If you ever update or change and need more fuel you will need a bigger system. I figured that I never know what I am going to do and bigger is all ways better. So i am pumping 100 gallons an hour back to the tank, I do not see why that would hurt anything.

Did your fass kits come with a straw for placing in the tank?
150/95 in particular. Taber said it did but fass doesnt include it in items list?

would I really benifit from a Vulcan Draw straw?

The draw straw kit eliminates the two in tank screen type filters. If you get the FASS system with the filters you won't miss those screen filters.

If you get the FASS with the filter assemble, your not going to need the draw strawkit.
