INSTALLATION MANUAL

Dear Valued Customer,
“Made in the USA” is not just a slogan at FASS; it’s what we live by! FASS is
not only assembled in the USA but 98%+ of the FASS product is manufactured in the
USA, helping to employ Americans and strengthen America. At FASS, we scrutinize
our suppliers and demand the highest quality American-made components. However,
this does come at a price, which is one of the main reasons FASS products are more
expensive than the competition. Remember price does not dictate quality but quality
does dictate price! Here at FASS, we believe it’s worth the commitment and will con-
tinue this practice to support America! Our competition is doing exactly the opposite
by using foreign-made components.
Building extremely “High-Quality” fuel products is our business. We concen-
trate all of our efforts in this arena. No one else is as specialized as FASS in what we
do! This is one of the ingredients to insure you are running with the “Highest-Quality”
fuel system in the world! We have implemented very rigorous testing procedures to
provide the “Highest Quality” we have become known for. Not only is our product su-
perior, but customer satisfaction is #1 at FASS. It is our goal to provide the best ser-
vice possible. Our confidence is evident in the products we make as each product is
backed by an industry leading warranty!
Our R & D department, in conjunction with our Dealer Support department, is
continually searching for ways to improve quality, expand our product line, and pro-
vide superb support to our network of dealers so our customers’ needs and expecta-
tions will be exceeded.
To help insure you receive the proper system and customer support at the local
level, FASS has a VIP and Authorized Dealer network representing FASS products.
We recommend you go to www.FASSride.com, click “Find A Dealer”, put in their ZIP
code, select the type of dealer, and see if the company you purchased from is listed. If
they are not, put their phone number in the field below the ZIP code field to see if they
are listed. Below these two fields is a list of “Terminated/Unauthorized” dealers. You
may want to review this list. If the company is not listed or is on the “Terminated/
Unauthorized” list, we suggest you return the product immediately to that dealer and
call FASS. We’ll recommend you to the nearest dealer.

Step 1:
Mounting the FASS
a. Remove frame mounted primary fuel and/or water separator.
Note: The photo’s in this manual are from a sample of applications and are to be
used for a guideline as your specific application may be different. The text is accu-
rate and the photo again is to “ONLY” be used for a guideline.
Use thread tape or pipe sealant on “ALL” male pipe threads, do not use on male
flared fittings.
b. “ONLY” if a 90° fitting is to be used (as seen in this photo) follow these
steps:
1. Remove upside down “T” Block pump assembly by removing the 4
bolts holding it to the FASS filter base. Pay attention to the o-rings
(2) and ball(1).
2. Remove the fuel manifold and assemble 90° fitting directing it in the
correct direction.
3. Reassemble fuel manifold then pump assembly to FASS filter base
making sure all o-rings & the ball are seated in their proper place.
Attach BR-2001 to back of system using the washers and 1/4” bolts. Use
2 shortest on the system base.
c.
Position system where it will be mounted. Mark the (4) mounting points
of which prior holes may be used. Drill these marked locations with a
13/32 bit.
d.
e. Assemble to frame using the (4) - 3/8” bolts & flange nuts placing the RS-
1001 between the frame and bracket.
Apply motor oil to o-rings located on filters. Attach to system and torque
appropriately
f.

a. Locate extra ports in the fuel tanks, if there are no extra ports review the last
page of this manual. Install the 10-296 into each tank, it maybe necessary to
use a 8-260 or 10-260 to adapt fitting to tank.
b. Install 8-211(90°) or 8-212 (straight) into fuel line, part # FL-1004S using the
following procedures: recall on this procedure when necessary.
Assemble fuel line into female end (reverse threads), then apply a modest
amount of oil to the interior lining.
Secure female end in vise.
Oil male end of 8-211 and assemble into female end.
The male portion should tighten all the was as seen, be it a 90° or straight.
Step 2:
Return Fuel Line System
The fuel line being made will resemble:
From “T” to each fuel tank with 1-
straight fitting & 1-90° fitting on
each line. These lines must be the
exact length on both sides.
Return line from FASS with
straight ends to cross member
where the line will “T” off.
Assembled “T”
Assembled “T”

f. Detach the FASS return, cut this line as marked. Now assemble 8-211 into
the open end of the fuel line.
g. Connect fuel line, in discussion, to return port of the FASS and to the 10-298
of the “T” assemble, the “T” assemble with the Push-Lok fitting.
c.
Step 2: CONT.
Return Fuel Line System
Assemble the 1st “T” using (1) - 8 - 250, (2) –10-298 & (1) - 10-299 as
seen in the photo.
i. Assemble an 8-211 into an end of the open fuel line & attach to 10-298 of the
“T” assemble being covered.
d. Assemble the 2nd “T” using (1) - 8 - 250, (2) –10-298 & (1) - PL - 1001 as
seen in the photo.
e. Attach the line completed in step b to the return port of the FASS, labeled
with an “R”, route to a location where the “T” can be secured later. Measure
& mark this line as it will connect to the side fittings of the “T”. This junction
will be used later to return fuel from the engine back to the fuel tank.
h. Connect fuel line in discussion to return port of the FASS and to the 10-298
of the “T” assemble, the “T” assemble with the Push-Lok fitting.

Step 2: cont.
Return Fuel Line System
k. Cut the fuel line and assemble a 8-212 in the opposite end of the line con-
necting to the “R” port of the FASS.
l. Assemble an 8-212 into one end of the remaining fuel line. Route this
fuel line from straight fitting of the “T” to the return port in the fuel tank,
mark & cut. Caution: Route the side with the exhaust first as it will be
necessary to travel below the frame to avoid the exhaust, each side has to
be the exact same length. Later it will install as seen.
m. Cut the remaining fuel line to the “Exact” same length line as the line in
step f.
n. Assemble (1) of each 8-211 & 8-212 into each line addressed in steps f &
g.
p. Properly torque all connections and secure the fuel line & “T”.
o. In the same manner as previously covered route and loosely connect the
assembled fuel lines discussed in this section to the appropriate points of
connection including the “T”.
j. Route to the center of the nearest cross member aligned with the ports in the
fuel tank being used for return fuel. Measure & mark this line as it will con-
nect to the 90° fitting of the “T” in this location.
