hey everyone im around 62000 miles on my truck now and i really want to get a new lp to replace the stock one. i def. want to go with fass but im not sure if its worth spending the extra money on the fass pump with the filters on it for around 635.00 or just the pump for around 420.00.... any advice would be lovely. thanks!!

 

It's strictly your choice. The filters are nice and the water separator is an added bonus...but the motors are identical. If the HPFP (without fliters) was on the market when I got mine...not sure One bhich I would get?
Big advantage of the full FASS to me, is eliminating the stock fuel filter...when working on the left side of the engine. Also love bigger fuel filter, which allows filtering down to 2 microns without affecting flow.

I do think the FASS is worth the extra money....probably depends on your budget more than anything else.

Either way, you'll solve your lift pump concerns for the life of your CTD.

I would get the filter i love mine.

 

but my other problem is right now im stock. what if i want to one day hit 400-500 hp?

 

What's the problem? Either FASS or the HPFP will support all the HP you can add!

well there is the 95 gph and the 150 gph?

 

wouldnt it be bad if i buy a 150gph and run it on a stock truck? or if i buy the 95 and reach 4 or 500 hp?

 

FASS 150/95 for me. Good for more than 500 HP. I've read of guys using the 95 for 600+ HP.

 

very true...i am looking into the 95 as well...and a well known diesel preformance shop in my area confirmed the exact same thing....he felt the same way that a 95 can and will support 500+ hp vehicles...he him self makes his own using other products (mostly due to he dyno's out at 1070/1976 with spray. its not the numbers that amaze me but the fact it truly is a DAILY DRIVER) but has run both fass systems 150 and 95 as well as bullydog and installed almost every fuel system known...i do believe after speaking with him i will more than likely go the 95 route as i dont see myself going for more than 500-600 max...

I just bought the 150/95-1008 and Im in the process of installing as I type. Its pretty easy to install there is a magazine article that you can print off on the dieselpp.com site that makes it a little easier along with the instructions they send. The kit has everything you need from tank to Ip.

 

I have the FASS 95 system. If I had to do it again, I would go for the 95/150. The reason is I did not want to drop my fuel tank and install the fuel pickup tube. Either system will work well for you truck, but I also think the filtering system on the FASS is much better than the factory system. It may be in my head, but I think my truck runs much better now and seems to have better throttle response. Before FASS, I was running the 1/2" Vulcan relo kit. It was really nice and made a big difference on fuel pressure. I swapped out as I was tired of replacing carter lift pumps .

Enjoy,

It does get a little confusing. Fact - the 95 gph pump will support ANY amount of hp a 2nd Gen CTD can throw at it. Many run the 150 gph pump with equal success but it's not needed.
The 150 gph and the 200 gph pumps don't fall into the 'needed' category till you get to the third Gen trucks.

There is, IMO, a tendency to feel bigger is better.... and bigger does seem to sell, all else being equal. 1/2" fuel lines are nice (if dealing with factory LP), but the 3/8" lines provided by FASS have been proven to supply all the fuel the IP can use. Just saw where Glacier offers a 5/8" fuel tank pick up hose! Way overkill, IMO, but they will probably sell lots. And then there is the triple disk converters in automatic trannys, where single disks have proven they can handle 900+ HP.
My 95 gph FASS pump was acting up a bit (very early model) and FASS had just come out with the 150 gph so 'Diesel Dan' asked me to try it as a comparison. I could see no difference... both are great.
MKE56 - if you will sleep better at night with a 150 gph FASS pump... by all means go for it. It won't hurt a thing and it's the same price.
