Jake H • October 20, 2025

If you’re installing a new FASS Diesel Fuel System or upgrading your existing setup, the FASS Single Bolt Sump Kit (SK5501) is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve fuel delivery.

Designed for quick installation and maximum reliability, this innovative sump eliminates the need to drop the fuel tank—saving time, labor, and frustration.

What the FASS SK5501 Fuel Sump Kit Does

The FASS Single Bolt Sump Kit draws fuel directly from the lowest point of the fuel tank, ensuring a consistent supply of clean diesel to your FASS system—even when fuel levels are low. By reducing the strain on the lift pump and eliminating suction issues caused by factory pickups, the sump helps maintain steady pressure and fuel flow under all conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Single-Bolt Design – The SK5501 uses one central bolt and an internal o-ring seal for a fast, secure, leak-free installation. No need for multiple fasteners or complex hardware.
  • No Tank Drop Required – Drill one hole in the tank bottom and install from the outside—no need to remove or lower the tank.
  • Increased Fuel Flow – Provides a high-volume feed to your FASS lift pump for smoother starts, consistent pressure, and reduced aeration.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction – CNC-machined from premium billet aluminum and anodized for corrosion resistance and long life.
  • Universal Fit – Works with most aftermarket and OEM fuel tanks and is compatible with all FASS Titanium and Titanium Signature Series Systems.

Why Upgrade to a FASS Sump Kit?

Many diesel owners experience power loss, cavitation, or hard starts when the factory fuel pickup can’t keep up—especially under towing or performance conditions. The SK5501 Sump Kit solves these issues by letting gravity do the work.

It feeds fuel directly from the tank bottom to your FASS system, ensuring steady flow even when the tank is nearly empty.

This upgrade not only protects your injection components from starvation but also simplifies future maintenance by making the fuel supply line easier to access.
