So I don't have the hutch or harpoon mod so I'm thinking of using the sump for the quickest easiest way of providing fuel to the new to me, (used) Fass pump/filters.

1. Will I need any type of pre-filter if I use a sump? (not sure if the Fass pulls through it's filter or pushes through it's filter and don't want to damage the pump).

2. Even if I don't need it, is a screen filter of some kind advisable?)

3. Eliminate the stock pump? (I think I read someone used an Airdog or Fass in conjunction with the stock pump.) any benefit to this route like better supply? Any cons?

4. Can I just cut the existing supply line and plug it so I don't have to drop the tank when going the sump route?

Thanks!
Brian

1. I don't have one.

2. If you want one then go for it. I considered it but I figured it would be fine

3. As far as I know it deletes the stock pump. Really no point in keeping it.

4. I cut the factory line so I could put it back to stock and ran a new larger line.

Here is what mine looked like.

 

hey Andrew, That's the same one I just ordered from Beans....I like the design better than the competition (looks easier to install) and they are closing them out for $120.

looks like you pulled the tank. I hate the idea of pulling mine but like most mods, it always seems more difficult than it actually ends up being in the end.

Did you see any MPG gain?

 

You can do it with the tank in. But I have dropped my tank easily 10 times. I had my tank out in about 25 minutes.

Any MPG gain was not noticeable. I just like the idea of being able to drain my tank with the removal of one plug. And I don't like the factory pick up. They are troublesome..

Keep in mind that a sump is not DOT approved. I could care less.. but just so you know.

 

Anybody else out there running an Airdog or Fass that can chime in?
