I’m throwing this on today along with a new S&B fuel tank, thank you sir!
Very nice!
Does It matter which fuse I use? My fuse box doesn’t look like yours
@@LordRocco777 could call FASS they are great help.
@@bparkinson1234 called but they didn’t answer, was probably lunch time. I just plugged It into the current fuel pump location. Worked well. Does the fuel pump run constantly?
Awesome video, very helpful and informative, Thanks
Great Video! Whish my truck was this clean and rust free! thanks for sharing
Very informative video. Well documented and put together. I too have been wanting to do this project on my 7.3 Powerstroke but have not seen much on this install. Nice that you have a lift to get that fuel tank out.
Awesome video. Love the FAAS system - 2002 F350
Great job! Definitely the most informative and organized video out there, I’ll be doing this but as a sump for fuel pickup and return in the tank.
Thanks
Thank you for the video, going to be installing mine this week
Thanks for the video, great detail!
Thanks for the video well done tons of help.
Great. Check out my playlists. Thanks
Thank you, 02 Expedition. 80 yrs old, no lifts at home, guess I will have to pay to have it done, but after what you showed us, I am concerned that a lackAdasical mechanic will wreck the install. Why not just keep all the lines at the tank, and just have the FASS recirculate the fuel in the tank, act as a scrubber? and keep the water out of the tank in the first place.
THANK YOU
I'm not sure about the 7.3l but I know for sure you need 60 to 65 psi so that you don't damage your injectors and fass fuel only goes to 55psi yes they sell 75 psi spring for only the 120gph version. If you use 75 psi spring on other models it voids your warranty. Airdog 5g has a regulator goes to 70psi. That is why for a powerstroke most people go with airdog. Otherwise for my cummins I would do afe or fass.
Great video. You're right, there is not much if any other videos that show the steps to take or the installation of one of these systems. I will also state that you answered a question for me. Being new to the diesel world, I have a late 99 7.3L ( uncle gave me) and kept seeing these "lift pumps". Not "fuel pump". But you showed me that yes, this is a more advanced fuel pump design. And deletes my stock motorcraft pump. So thank you for that. Now I can move forward with a new tank and FASS system. Another question. What or how many liters per hour (LPH) was this system that you put on?
Was the smaller one. I have a stock 7.3. You can call fass if needed. Thanks
Now that you have the Fass look into eliminating the fuel bowl and installing a regulated return. I used the one from Irate Diesel it will it will increase power and make the dead head Injectors last longer. It Is a job as the turbo has to come off but all the 7.3s are to the age they will need them. I added mine over 100k ago 0 problems as it eliminates Ford's crappy prone to leak fuel fittings and the fuel bowl with J I C style and stainless lines. Full Synthetic oil like Mobil1, or Schaeffer`s synthetic blend will start easier in the cold and you can extend oil change intervals and you won't need the Hot Shot
I’ll look into it. Thanks
Yes, And you can use the Fass bowl delete with the air dog, And the use the Driven Diesel Overboost Annihilator from Strictly Diesel to get the computer in your 99-03 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel equipped vehicle will turn on the "Service Engine Soon" light at about 24psi of boost (some calibrations may come on at lower pressures)...a pressure easily attained by todays high performance chips, tuners and modules. At the same time, the computer will reduce fueling (power) in an effort to bring the boost pressure down. This reduced power mode will remain in effect until the PCM sees enough continuous operation without the fault (usually a few minutes of driving), the ignition is cycled or the code that tripped the SES light is cleared electronically. $79.95. I don't think you have to remove the turbo, , , that's a pain and requires extra knowledge and skills, which is out side of this topic. . . I can't wait to delete that damn fuel bowl for 1/2 dozen reasons!
On the fuel tank, how did you seal the oem ports?
Great question! The return on the truck stayed in place. The suction hose by the old lift pump… chopped the fitting off of the old pump. About two inches. Then plugged with a screw and jb weld. This plugged oem fitting. Thanks
Great video. So how long would you say it took you to install this thing? I realize the video is only 38 minutes but that could be misleading, right?
Oh ya. I had the turbo out three times the after market pedestal was warped and oil ring wouldn’t seal. Got good one from thoroughbred diesel That was about three days. Rest of it was another two days in the cold. But was well worth it. Did 3500 miles back East. Not one issue. Thanks for asking. See the FAAS video also I did.
Nice, But why is there a orange plug in the Fass Manifold block? Isn't that a pressurized port?
Been I while. Think it is port for a fuel gauge sensor. Thanks
Could you elaborate on what becomes of the old sending unit (on top of the tank that you re-installed after installing your new pickup assembly next to it)...do you just leave it as a convenient closer to the tank top opening and re-attach the factory lines to keep dirt out) or does it have any other function beyond fuel level feedback in dash?
Just left it in place. Didn’t touch it. Thanks
@@bparkinson1234
But you must have re-attached the fuel lines, and the wiring to keep dirt out / enable the sending unit for the fuel level...that is what I asked in the first place...
You wouldn't have merely "left it in place" and you certainly had to "touch it" in order to remove it for that other pickip install...
Wish you hadn't glossed over that part...
@@thedivinemissm7795 I drilled a second hole in top of tank for the new pickup called harpooning. Then blocked the original fuel line not used anymore where it went onto the oem pump Thought i showed that. Then attached the new blue line to the other side of the oem output line ip to the fuel bowel. Does this help?
Also. I cut the intake side of the oem pump stud pipe off. Then used jb weld and a bolt to plug it. That way the line is capped off.
Do I have to remove my stock fuel bowl if I add this what about my tank selector switch?
FASS recommends to leave the fuel bowel and leave the filter. Or you could put in a fuel bowl delete kit. I just left mine. Works great. Don’t know about the tank selector. Thanks
What size is the pump outlet fitting that goes to the engine?
Not sure. I told FASS the year of truck and model. They sent me what was needed. Their techs are great. Thanks
So what is the difference between the sump style and this pick up, I understand the physical difference but is there a performance purpose between the two? Also did this help quite the injectors down?
I guess the sump stile gets more fuel when low. The pipe or some call it harpooning the tank leaves some in the bottom. Maybe a gallon or two. Didn’t notice the injectors getting any more quiet. Mine are already quite. I use hot shot stiction add into the oil. First treatment the injectors went quiet in a few minutes. Amazing. I now use it maintenance amount in all my oil changes. Also use it in my 29 Ford with Cummins. See my playlist. Thanks for asking.
Also I wanted to retain my heavy skid plate. Didn’t see enough clearance for sump stile.
@@bparkinson1234 awesome man seriously appreciate the video and the reply, gonna be doing it very soon as well! Thank you
@@jaredcoleman4248 thanks. Try some hot shot stiction in the oil.
@@bparkinson1234 yup yup just ordered it off Amazon, curious what oil you’re running, that’s on my list of things to do this week
Couple things. 1st, PTFE Teflon Tape is not the correct product for fuel line thread. Diesel will eat it and it can get in your fuel. The Yellow Gas version is for NG/LP gas not liquid fuel rated, so don't use that either. Use Permatex which comes in a variety of types for anything that act like a solvent or fuel. Next dropping the tank is a fools errand. Top feed is useless, tends to send wrong data to the fuel gauge, the ole' 1/8 fuel left but its empty, or the bottom fuel screen filter fell off and the the up-tube is now short of the tank bottom, which is a serious problem because you then send air through the line at high pressure running down the highway and it can super heat your injectors and melt them. . . Then you're really screwed. You should install a Bean Sump in the tank base. Cap off the exist source line from the top near the existing fuel pump, and continue to use the existing return. Fass and other systems have very little fuel return line volume or pressure. Great video though~
Thanks for the input. The off road version of my truck has no room for the sump with my factory skid plate. Harpooning from the top is best. Used a dime to bring the tube just off the bottom. Thus no chance of your sump getting scraped off on a rock. The factory tube and screen is not used. Please watch the videos or call FASS for more info. Thanks for watching
@@bparkinson1234 The Beam sum is super tough. 1 bolt. They have vids on beating it with hammers and more. If you cut a hole trough the skid-plate you can mount and route and then weld a second small low profile skid plate over it, or build a plate and lag it to skid plat, or whatever. SUMP is king. Good luck!
Did you ever need a regulator, any issues?
Nope. Works fine. Call FASS tech support if you have any questions. Thanks
Did you remove the stock fuel pump and just use the Fass as the sole pump?
Yes. I show that in the video and how to cap off the fitting from the tank to the old pump. Thanks.
@@bparkinson1234 Ok. I was just double checking. I would like to remove the whole pump because I am doing a custom fuel system with my 7.3 and want the Frame not to be crowded
@@williamaurnerjr.7328 ya get ride of it. Also you need to plug the fitting. Or it my siphon. I did keep the stock fuel filter. Probably don’t need it.
Don't put it on a 2011 or newer Ford 6.7, if it has any warranty from Ford. If you do you will lose warranty on the spot at your Ford dealership.
Yep. Don’t touch new ones with anything. Thanks. Check out my playlist.
@@bparkinson1234 will do
None of that saved my 6.0 didn't help it , waste of money , the pump died in a year fast told me to pound sand was a total waste of my money !
Sorry to hear you had a 6.0. Thanks
