I would build my own. I would use 1 or 2 Superduty electric pumps, a 30 micron pre pump filter and a 2 micron post filter each with water seperators. I would source the filter from Napa with common filters. I would use an Aeromotive A-1000 regulator then the hose/tubing would all be whatever I can find that will work. I have thought thru some of it but not all the way yet.

I am talking about replacing the stock fuel system with electric pumps and a real pressure regulator and real fuel filters. I would completely ditch the factory fuel bowl and clear the valley.

They need to come out with something like the FASS system for dodges. I just installed one about a month ago and it appears to be an awsome setup. I too, love the fact that they have actual filters.

you can put a FASS on out trucks. I am just not willing to pay the price! I have heard Diesel Innovations has a FASS kit for the superduties but I look there and no price.
Plus one reason I wouldn't liek the FASS (though I don't know if this is the case for sure) is does it use common fuel filters or are they special or hard to find. It would be a major problem on a trip to need a filter and no be able to pull up to an autozone or Napa and not be able to find a filter. My set up will use a very common filter that most any parts store will have.

Actually, now that you bring it up. They have their own filter numbers stamped on the filters. Some part stores carry them. We went to orrielly's and they wanted to give us a water separator, but Carquest had once that would cross.

Iam not sold on the electric setup still.
The pumps are pushers not pullers.
I would like to put the pump in the tank. Or as close to the tank as possible with a sump.
I think a pump in the tank might work as well as a high dollar FASS
Diesel fuel dont like to be under a vac with the entained air. It releases it.

Got Ya!
More work. But still can be done.
When the day comes i think iam going sump with plug.
Just for the ease of tank cleaning if needed or drain a load of bad fuel.

TJ, I hear you want to come to Iowa and replace my fuel pump because it's leaking. It's only supposed to get down to -10 tonight.
Lol. I need to replace mine, but I'm gonna wait to I do my turbo too. Might as do it when thats out of the way.
