MPG, Reliability, Performance: Why Class 8 Trucks Need FASS
November 25, 2020

Whether they’re powered by a CAT, Cummins, Detroit, John Deere, Mercedes, Paccar, or Volvo diesel engine, class 8 trucks can burn upwards of 25,000 gallons of fuel in a lifetime! In many cases, that number’s significantly higher.


Fuel Quality MATTERS


Each gallon of diesel is another opportunity for water, air, and dirt to inflict costly damage on your engine’s injection components. If that’s not enough, those same contaminants reduce power, and perhaps most importantly to class 8 truck owners, fuel economy.


It’s probably no surprise that clean fuel burns more efficiently than dirty fuel. But without a well-engineered aftermarket filtration system, getting pure diesel fuel to your engine is impossible!


Are FASS Diesel Fuel Systems expensive?



When compared to the potential fuel savings and injection component protection, no! By simply installing a FASS Diesel Fuel System on their truck(s), owner/operators have recouped THOUSANDS of dollars that they would have previously spent on fuel and maintenance.


For class 8 fleet owners, the savings are even more drastic!
