As far as the product being pricey, sure. As far as the product falling apart because brushes fail - are you kidding me? Never seen one in my 3 years of selling them. The product is by far the best out there. Never had a return, a failure or a recall. That has to say something.

I'm not saying it is the only way but considering the easy instal, the number of times a stock LP can take a dump and the cost of a VP44 or CP3 (installed or otherwise) you are looking at a way to save it. Not soing so to save $50 is a mistake.

More filters - very important. I don't know what you mean by having one in the tank - you don't if you by pass the in-tank pump or never had that to begin with. I run all my setups with the 144, the 12 and the 6um filters - all fleetguard. Never a problem.

 

There have been a few FASS failures mentioned but it is probably the best system short of one of the mechanical systems. Most of the failures have had to do with bad connections etc in the electrical supply. Getting rid of the air in the fuel and having the extra filtration also has a lot of merit. That said, I decided on the Walbro because I can carry an extra pump under the seat for all the times when I'm way back in the sticks with no access to parts for a fass system. Of equal importance imo is to get rid of the restrictions in the system caused mostly by the banjos. I used a 3/8 line and maintain 12 psi wot at the output side of the filter. In case of any fuel supply system failure I can wire my replacement pump directly off the batt, fix hose problems with spare hose and a couple of clamps etc and get back to civilization. Now if I could just figure out a way to back up the vp44 I'd have it made! Oh well... I love my truck!

 

i really appreciate the imput on my prob. I keep finding lil things that need my attention on this thing and so far this is my biggest prob yet. seriously considering going with the holly blue w/o the big line kit if I can get away with it. if not then i'll bite the bullet and go ahead with the vulkon kit.

 

I just installed an Eliminator Its one SWEET Set up and its a 500,000 Mile Pump , PSI also offers the Performer System its a 150,000 Mile Pump

I didnt use the old stock fuel filter with my fass just the two on the fass. now i need something for my 12 valve.

 

Yeah, Ive been thinking about putting a FASS on my 12V so I dont have to change that #$%%^^$ fuel filter so often. Seems like its a lot of money for something thats not necessary. Would be nice if Vulcan put together a big line kit for 12V's (are you reading this Eric??)...

 

just wanted to let everyone know that I ordered the holly blue along with the vulcan wiring harness. going to install within the week!!! (i'll finally be able to run wot without runnin 0 psi) thanks for all the input and advice!

Dont just buy the harness....seriously....get the big line kit/with LP relocation. It eliminates all the banjo bolts and makes a world of difference.....not so much in pressure but in the volume of fuel delivered to your injector pump (which in turn cools and lubricates your pump). I would not steer you wrong with this and this mod is just about the biggest bang for the buck on a 24V second gen truck. Trust me, its well worth the money...

Look at it this way, if you can afford to buy the performance goodies, you need to spend the money to address the fuel system issues (u dont want to have to but another IP)...just my 2 cents...FWIW...

 

What the good Dr. forgot to mention that is if you don't do this change now you will later when your replacing the IP. If you looking for HP these bigger lines and fittings in place of the banjo's is a must.

 

i agree with the doc here to. pushing fuel through the stock banjo bolts is going to make the holley work twice as hard also, which i think is where running the holleys got a bad name in the first place. why not open up the system and take some stress off of the pump?
