FASS LIGHT TRUCK TESTIMONIALS
"Great piece of machinery"
Seth Niebaum, I.E. - of Wichita, Kansas writes:
"I ordered FASS from Western Diesel Performance a few weeks back and it was promptly shipped to me, I was actually surprised how fast it got here. Installed the system the following Saturday, April 17th. Great piece of machinery, I've been thoroughly impressed even though I've only had the pump for less than 2 weeks. I see fuel pressure at 15 psi and can barely budge the needle even under the most heavy acceleration. My brother is running FASS on his chipped Cummins with the same results. Again, great product and thanks for answering my questions before my purchase."
"A great addition to my truck"
Mitch Kieffer - of Wisconsin writes:
"I am just dropping you a letter to let you know how pleased I was with your instant call back and knowledge that you shared on the FASS system I installed on my Duramax. The system installed easily with very little mechanical experience needed. The unit self-primes and the truck was running MUCH smoother, quieter and I am sure more efficient!!! I am running 437Hp and 1000lbs/ft at this time and this fuel system has no problems filling it's fuel demand. Thanks Brad for a quality product and a great addition to my truck!!!!"
"Definitely would buy one again"

"Two thumbs up here. Idle pressure at 15.5 and on 5x5 WOT never pulls it below 14. Great system, neat looking too. Definitely would buy one again."
"The install was a breeze"

"...I wanted nothing to do with another 'stock' lift pump. I didn't care about any hp increases, just wanted peace of mind. I will be pulling 8-9k soon with an enclosed trailer, so I purchased the FASS system right away. I can't give you dyno #'s, but the day after installing FASS I hooked up my 2k car trailer and drove from Rochester, NY to Columbus, OH to pick up a car. What I noticed right away was the upper rpm power the truck had. Usually it felt kind of flat at anything over 2200 rpm. With the FASS it would pull as hard and fast as I wanted to go. I had the trailer up over 85mph and it felt like an animal! That has to be the hp increase. The install was a breeze and Brad was always available to answer any questions I had. So far I'm happy with the system."
"I have never heard my engine idle soooo smooth"
Mundgyver - of Oregon writes:
"Just got my FASS installed this weekend. This is one strong looking unit. First thing I noticed is that it comes with all grade 8 bolts, not the cheap, soft ones.
Install was simple and straightforward. I have a flat bed and ended up installing the unit between the front bed skirt and tool box, just behind the driver's cab. It was just a fit and is totally covered from the elements except at the bottom.
After the install I did have a little trouble getting the pump to prime, but after filling both filters with fuel, she took off and started pumping.
First off I noticed the engine was a lot smoother at idle. I have never heard my engine idle soooo smooth. Also my PS high idle has always idled at 1200 to 1250 RPM. Now it idles at 1400. I guess I have always needed more pressure on my VP. I also noticed that when in 4th and really lugging the engine, she does not want to jerk and jump around. She just lugs and keeps on building RPM. I would recommend this unit to anyone that is tired of replacing the lift pump or wants the peace of mind of having a good pump.
Thanks Brad for the fine quality product you are putting out."
"Well worth the investment"
Mundgyver - of Oregon - follow up 1:
"At 103,000 I disconnected the factory original LP and filter and hooked up the FASS. All I can say is, the truck seems to accelerate a lot smoother. My EGT's are down about 25 deg while cruising at 60mph back and forth to work. I made one modification to the system, though. The connection supplied for the VP hook up looked to be rather small in diameter. I drilled it out to 5/16 for better volume and flow. The throttle response is very nice. Fuel pressure is a solid 12 psi under all conditions.
This FASS unit was well worth the investment. I am amazed the old LP lasted this long. Next step is to plot the mileage numbers over the next month and see where it takes us."
"The mileage numbers are up"
Mundgyver - of Oregon - follow up 2:
"Well, my mileage numbers are up. This last week I went over to Idaho and back. The route was from Portland, Oregon to Umitilla, Oregon, Wallawalla, Washington over Lolo pass to Lolo, Montana and then over Lostrail pass to Salmon, Idaho. Last time I did this trip (pre-FASS) I got 21.3 mpg. This time I got 22.78 mpg. The worries about losing a lift pump are gone also."
"You really are about the customer"
JBHale - of Texas writes:
"Brad, it was nice talking to you. You know you really didn't have to call and tell me about the scratch on the bracket. That goes to show you really are about the customer. Thank you for your time."
"Smoother motor all across the board"
Keith1 - of Ohio writes:
"Installed yesterday and all I can say is it's awesome so far. 1st - it starts a lot quicker. 2nd - motor noise is a lot quieter. 3rd - fuel pressures were 25 and 35 now close to 40 at idle and near 55 at 1500 with no load. 4th - and probably the most important to me is the bottom end power that it gave it (timing at 14.5) 5th - smoother motor all across the board. 6th - in my motor it made an extra 3lbs of boost.
I will let you know next week if there are any mileage improvements to be gained from it, but so far I would say it's one of the best improvements that I have made to the truck. Great product and great people also."
"Feel the improvement"
Mark Pagnucco writes:
"I got my truck back today from Frank at Noble High Performance in CT, and I can definitely feel an improvement. Off idle torque has DEFINITELY INCREASED! I'm running DD2 injectors an Edge Comp box and a Southbend FE clutch in my six speed. With the box off, 3rd gear starts require almost NO THROTTLE. I can tell the torque is there by the way the clutch feels, the motor will overpower the clutch with far less throttle. I pushed the truck a little tonight but I haven't really seen a real or dramatic improvement in top end power or mileage, but again, I only drove it about 15 miles. Fuel pressure is pegged at 15+psi, will not move.
Frank made one more improvement to the mounting bracket which I thought was good. He welded in a brace from the long leg of the bracket to the short side which stiffened things up nice.
Overall I'm happy with my purchase as I was one of the guys that bought the pump for reliability and if it made more power it's a bonus."
"Like the peace of mind"
Clint Spurgeon - of New Mexico writes:
"Brad, just thought that I would let you know how my system is working. I bought the system from you about 2 months ago. Currently I have about 8000 miles on it and I love it! It puts out 17 to 18psi all the time and I can never pull it down. I have noticed that it starts A LOT better, the turbo seems to spool up quicker too. My mileage seems to be about 2 mpg better than before. As much as I run, the system will pay for itself pretty quick.
The installation was pretty easy and relatively simple. I removed the OEM lift pump and filter, so my engine compartment isn't so cluttered. The pump is really well made too. Really like the peace of mind that my fuel pressure is right. Really a great product and addition to my business!!!"
"Works as advertised"

"WOW! Great product, works as advertised. Thank you. Heard about it on TDR."
"One of the best diesel performance products out on the market today... BAR NONE!"
Darrell Crawford, Owner and Dan MacDonald, Manager of High Performance Diesel of North Texas write:
"I saw the testimonials on the website and I figured since I have installed a number of these, I would add my words to the wall.
Both Darrell and I have FASS on everything we drive. Me on my 2001 Dodge CTD and him on his 2002 Dodge CTD and 2000 Ford Power Stroke. We first got wind of the FASS because of a injection pump failure on Darrell's 2002 Cummins late last year. This failure was chalked up to a BIG module and not enough fuel pressure! This was at 27,000 miles and Dodge smiled and waved us down the road! We did some research and found your company. We liked the added benefits on having the fuel pressure and the removal of the air in the diesel. It seemed like a win win situation, but we remained skeptical. We ordered our first FASS system and were immediately impressed with the quality! 3/8" line, big fuel filter, HUGE lift pump! Seemed over built... the way we like it! We installed the new injection pump and the FASS. We immediately noticed the truck ran smoother and was quieter at idle! (Don't worry! It still rattles like a Cummins! Just more refined!) We also dropped 180 HP injectors and a fuel pressure gauge in the truck while the pump was out. The truck was a beast on the road! But with all the flogging, the 17 PSI worth of fuel pressure would maybe drop to 15-16 PSI under WOT!!! This sold us!
I got one for my truck and now my wife asked "What did you do to the truck that made it quieter?". My truck also has more pep from 30-70 MPH. We have since installed several for other people's trucks and have similar results with all. I think this is one of the best diesel performance products out on the market today...BAR NONE!
You don't drive around with air in your brake lines! Why you doing it with your fuel? Diesel injection is a hydraulic process. Air entrapment makes it less efficient! Simple as that!
Thanks for a great product! You have our support!"
"Thanks for giving me my truck back"
Mike writes:
"YOU LIED TO ME. You said this thing wasn't going to make "Edge EZ" difference in the performace of my 24 valve. My pump must have been very weak. Your FASS woke that thing up. It runs like a raped ape. I know you said you would never post on TDR again but that ongoing argument about you product is the first time I had heard of FASS. If it makes you feel better, them guys helped you sell one, no, make that two. My buddy, that we talked about in the cold that night, helped me install it and he is sold as well. He is waiting on cash that will be forthcoming in the next two to four weeks and I will be in touch with you on his behalf to place another order. I've bragged on you enough, now get to work on building that replacement for my VP44, and if you need a test truck... In all seriousness, thanks for giving me my truck back. If there is anything I can do, I owe you one."
