FASS Question

For those of you who have installed the FASS.

When installing the 'O ring' adapter on the VP44. Did you just tighten it untill it was ,,,, snug, or did you tourqe it to a specific pressure?????

Being that it's a brass fitting,,,,, I don't what to over tighten and break it off!!!!!

Finger tight plus a nudge with a wrench. It doesn't need to be very tight with the o-ring in there.

rmrc,

If you have the FASS II, just for clarity, the o'ring fuel fitting (part# DIPF-1001) in installed into the inlet side of the factory fuel filter housing not the VP44. If you have the FASS I, please disregard this. BTW, I have the FASS II and just snugged it up, and it does not leak. Refer back to the installation manual STEP 3, check the photos and the "Note" along with paragraph 4. Your VP44 will not like non filtered diesel very long.

cul,
