FASS Fuel Systems UPDATED Filters

We will be taking a look at the NEW updated fuel filter from FASS Fuel Systems. They now offer two different sises, the ones that I installed in this video and the XL filters.

Thanks... watched this before I changed my filters for the first time - made this job SO SIMPLE.

[@MeanBee392]

You're welcome and glad you found the video to be helpful and informative! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@randyoneal6814]

@@MeanBee392 When I first unwrapped the filters, I was puzzled by the metal ring, wondered where on earth it went... I had no idea then it's only there to hold the rubber seal, that is, until I watched your video.

[@MeanBee392]

I can see where it would be a confusing. Glad my video was helpful for you buddy!

[@404notfound.....]

Definitely a nice cleaner look with the short filters. They look like quality ones. Im currently running Amsoil EA filters on my vehicles. Excellent video brother, 👍👍

[@MeanBee392]

I think so too and I like the shorter ones. I have always heard great things about Amsoil. Thanks brother I appreciate it! 🐝

[@jimferguson1048]

Problem I’m aware of with the new filters is with the water separator. When it reaches capacity it stops flowing which could leave you stranded somewhere if you don’t carry a spare filter with you.

[@MeanBee392]

Luckily I haven't had that problem but I do carry a spare set of filters.

[@MrdoallDoanything]

They do have larger filters of the same model

[@MeanBee392]

That’s good info to know. Thanks for sharing!

[@ccclc6159]

got my fass back in 2014 while out checking cows I ran over some hog wire about a month after getting the fass pump, broke off the plastic nipple off the water separator, didn't notice anything until I drove in the garage and noticed something running all over the floor, it only happened that 1 time still have the same filters from 2014 but they need to be changed, thanks for the info I was kind of confused as to what replacement filters to order just looking at the fass website

[@MeanBee392]

O man that's a bummer that that happened but the good news is the updated ones don't have the drain so you wont have to worry about that happening again. I would highly recommend getting them changed out though because that's a long time that they have been on there. Glad yo fond this video helpful because it is a bit confusing now when trying to find the new updated filters. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@cporter1775]

Your original water separator filter was to the rear and the new water separator went to the front. I just send this very question to Fass support on why this is.why switching them. My truck has the same Titanium pump like yours. All so instructions say to apply oil to seal before installing.

[@MeanBee392]

You are correct and I do not know why they made this change on filter location but I am curious. You can apply oil to the seal but I never do that to any fuel filter my whole diesel mechanic career. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@alfonsobernabe4291]

Did you every found out why they switched

[@krewpunk]

Did anyone find the answer to thus? Just noticed the same thing very confusing.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

1st from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷 😡🐝

[@MeanBee392]

Thanks brother! 🐝

[@texaslibertyadvocatenetwork]

4:20 you say, "this is the front one, the water separator" but you meant to say the back one

[@griffinbates5424]

They changed the location of where they go

[@j.r.w7636]

I’m sorry if you said it and I missed it but how long do you go before changing your filters.

[@MeanBee392]

I change my filters every other oil change. This is more often than they call for but to me it is cheap insurance.

[@markgasmen]

I went with wcfab relocation bracket which goes behind the frame cant even tell its there😅

[@MeanBee392]

How do you like that relocation bracket? I have looked at them just wasn’t sure about it.

[@markgasmen]

@@MeanBee392 had for a couple months now and so far i love it, pump stays clean and out of the elements and uses less hose, i posted a short vid on how it looks

[@MrPorteus]

Why not use a little oil on the rubber seal?

[@MeanBee392]

You can use oil as well, just make sure to put something on the seal.

[@christopherandrus3819]

Cat filters ftw

[@sinistercmd]

Fass just came out with a newer set can we get a review on them?

[@MeanBee392]

That is the set that I installed in this video.

[@localenterprisebroadcastin5971]

The new filters suck …they nearly destroyed my VP44 on my 24v Cummins

[@MeanBee392]

Wow that's not good. What did the filters do to almost take out your pump?

[@localenterprisebroadcastin5971]

@@MeanBee392 they restricted flow…only 2500 miles the water separator (or water absorber more like it) plugged up and dropped the fuel pressure to 5 psi …they even advertise that the water separator does this…the whole point to a water separator is to be able to drain the canister, their new filters absorb it and don’t let it fall to the bottom …if the temperature is cool they become a gigantic ice cube…needless to say fuel doesn’t flow too well through an element that clogged with ice crystals

[@MeanBee392]

Wow that's not good that that happened! I was disappointed when they did away with the drain on the water "separator" but I guess now I know why they did because it probably wont drain water. That's going to be a big problem in the winter and I guess I will have to carry a spare. Nothing worse then jelling up in the winter. Have you switched to different filters yet like Cat filters or anything?

[@localenterprisebroadcastin5971]

@@MeanBee392 just to be clear the fuel doesn’t gel up …the filter does work as advertised…the problem is the filter catches the water and it remains in a liquid state in the medium which sounds great if you don’t know much about pressure differential and thermodynamics…you see the difference in pressure between the supply side of the filter vs pressure side can cause the water to solidify well above the outside ambient temperature freezing point…the ice crystals cause a physical obstruction thus a reduction in fuel flow…here’s a basic example, piston driven aircraft equipped with carburetors have “carb heat” to prevent the formation of ice in the intake, the intake temperatures can get much lower than ambient temperatures (due to the Venturi effect) thus formation of ice can occur and starve the engine of air even if it’s nice warm day (especially if it’s humid)…I’m simplifying this of course but you can look it up for a more detailed explanation but the principles in effect are the same
