The difference here is amazing! To make it a truly fair test though, I think you would need to slow the airdog flow output down to somewhere between idle and cruise flow rates as it is a demand flow system and fass is a constant return system.
I still think the fass would way outperform the airdog, but to be fair you don’t run down the road at the max flow of these pumps.
Holly molly though, I was skeptical on the no drain water separator, hard to argue with results like that!
😳 glad I put this on my truck!
I was on the ropes between buying a airdog ll 4g or a fass titanium and I’m sold. Fass is it!
I love Fass fuel systems. I haven’t had one of these new ones yet. But have had the older one. I will always have one on a diesel. New filters seem to be awesome.
1 more test i would of liked to see is providing the mounting is the same useing the fass filters on the airdog pump maybe even try the airdog filters on the fass pump . may help those who have airdog pumps already atleast switch filters
Pretty sure its different size fittings
My bad after further review I seen why you changed the filters !!! This is a good unit !!!
Love my FASS system. My buddy has the Airdog and I showed him this video. Good news is, he bought the FASS. Bad news is, I have to help him install it hahaha. Also, no issues either on fuel. Currently run daily on 800hp tune and highest I run on is 1000hp tune. Though I do have a 12mm stroker, the fuel is always there
That feedback is very much appreciated as well as all your support! Thank you so much!
I have an 2011 Duramax i will order and install the fass system is awesome system my cousin just installed on 2002 duramax and he said is really nice system, thanks for the demonstration.
Love checking my mine and draining it, Fass after beating them up gave me a different part number so i didn't have to buy so many filters, i didn't want my truck to shut down due to a water filter being full without me knowing what was going on
What is it?
If you can't drain your filter then you are forced to buy a new one.
@@ndttech did you find the number?
What is the part number?
such an amazing system I dare to say Fuel stations could surely use a system that can polish fuel this good but then again they probably can care less that's why having a FASS system in our personal vehicles is not only helpful but Vital for the proper fueling needs of the simples to the most complicated fuel systems of this era saving the end user Money time and most definitely our trucks. Thanks Fass for all the R&D that goes into these units constantly. You guys ROCK! Blessings to all from Kissimmee FL.
Having some water in the fuel helps the fuel station out as they get to sell you dirty water as if it were fuel.
Some of the fuel stations around my area are known to add a little water to the fuel on purpose as to maximize profits.
You can "polish" it all you want but it makes no difference when it hits the bulk storage tank.
Exactly why my 5.9 is getting one of these next week.
Thanks for your support, Dane! Let us know if any questions come up!
FASS Diesel Fuel Systems absolutely! Thanks for creating such an awesome product!
@@danecarr617 You got it!
I installed a FASS on my 2004.5 last year and FYI I ended up installing a beans sump on the bottom of the tank.
Great demonstration 💯❤️ I’m sold I’m definitely buying a FASS system for my diesel truck.
I really like your business model. Don't change it.
Yeah the mounting doesn't concern me as much as getting the water out and keeping my CP4 from grenading. I can build a bracket for it.
We definitely understand-give us a shout if any questions come up!
So guessing when the media get full it’s time to change the filter or is their another way to ge the water outa the filter?
Hey Cory, thank you for reaching out. That is correct, when the media gets full it will be time to change the filters. As they fill with water you'll notice the system may start to get a little louder. We usually suggest changing the filters once a year, or every 20-30k miles whichever comes first.
FASS...please read this suggestion. You should let us...the viewers actually see the water in the fuel seperate out. How are you going to achieve that? By video recording the cloudy fuel tank with the water in it until the fuel/water has naturally separated. Then show us the video of the water naturally separating out at 20 times normal the speed or 50 times normal speed or whatever is a reasonable time for us to actually see the water naturally seperate out of the fuel. That is the video I want to see!
Hi Larry!
Thanks for the suggestion, we'd be happy to provide some footage like that. We've passed your notes along to our media team, and they'll be sure to look them over!
Can’t seem to get it threw my boss head that them other styles don’t do the job I will show him this video!
I’ve got a FASS 165 on my Cummins. It was sitting in 5 degree weather overnight last weekend. I kept my block heater plugged in all night. Went to start it the next morning and it fired right up, but would only run variably for a few minutes or so before shutting off. Like it kept getting starved for fuel. My differential diagnostic considerations included frozen water in the separator obstructing fuel flow, water getting past the separator or fuel gelling. I took a hair dryer and warmed the fuel filter and water separator canisters on my FASS for about 45 mins. I also added diesel 911 fluid as well as iso-heet fluid. That fixed my issue and I subsequently drove it for 300 miles that afternoon. I doubt it was fuel gelling as I run cold weather power service diesel fuel supplement all winter and 5 isn’t really all that cold. So it had to have been some issue with the water separator freezing. Any thoughts as to what was going on there or how to prevent it in the future? Should I change my separator filter after that event? What kind of temperatures would you recommend adding a heater kit to the system?
Hey there, first I want to apologize for the trouble you were having getting the truck started. For this, I would suggest giving our tech line a call at
1-866-769-3747. Our team will be able to get this diagnosed for you and make sure everything is working as it should as well. I appreciate you reaching out about this!
I put the 12v electric heat kit on mine.
@@adrianspeeder Nice, we hope that's been working well for you!
Dont own either but for both being 165 GPH pumps the air dog filled the tank twice as fast so was it speed up to for the test or is the fass slowed down to do a better job ?
Nailed it
Looked to me like be didn't have the fass completely primed. He didn't follow their priming procedures. Lol.
Looked to me like they pumped at the exact same rate. Problem was the FASS wasn't primed all the way. If you watch again, once the FASS starts pumping solid they maintain the exact same fill rate
I noticed too he didn’t do the priming procedure but also it didn’t have the dip tube on the positive side of the pump, if that makes the difference. Slightly older design??
I have a 2013 Chevy Express 3500
6.6 Duramax Van LGH Engine
Can't seem to find a kit for it
Gotcha, no worries at all! For the LGH engines, if you don't mind giving us a call at 1-866-769-3747 our customer service team will be happy to help you out!
Just order a 165 fass can’t wait to get it
Thank you for the business! Definitely let us know what you think.
so i would like to know were the water that is seperated goes, he said it doest have a drain but it clearly removed the water but were does the water end up?
Appreciate you asking, and the water actually gets trapped in the XWS-3002 filter media.
so the filter absorbed 190ml of water and is able to hold it and still filter more fuel until you change the filter?
@@cjcallen5974 that is correct, yes. The media in the filter will trap the water until it reaches capacity.
I just recently purchased a truck with your full pump on it I don't know why they would have put a Napa filter on the front. And it has a drain in it could you tell me the proper filter for that or is that OK. thank you.
We appreciate you reaching out and will be happy to help! If you don't mind giving our service team a call at 636-433-5410 we will be able to figure out the best filters for your system!
Does fass offer lifetime warranties, my plate with the anodized aluminum is showing extreme corrosion on the mounting surface now. I keep the truck very clean too so idk.
Hey Chris, thanks for reaching out! When it's convenient, give us a shout at 636-433-5410 or shoot us an email to techsupport@fassride.com and our team will be happy to check your warranty status.
Why did you have to replace the water separator filter for the second test when you polished the fuel in the large center vessel? What is that, 3 or 4 gallons of fuel? That suggests that your filter couldn't continue to separate the water from the center vessel on one filter cartridge. What's up with that???
Once the XWS-3002 Extreme Water Separator is plugged with water it would need to be replaced.
@@FASSFuelSystems how much water does it take to plug it im not really liking this new filter because if it stops sending fuel that could also grenade my cp4 will yall warranty a fuel system? Should've left it alone id much rather drain the water from my filter and that way u can also check and see if u have been getting contaminated fuel
@@Chrisguidry1923 The water capacity on the XWS-3002 is 120 ml. The water capacity on the XWS-3002 XL is 180 ml. If you would like to use an old style water separator with a drain you can use our cross reference list on our website, fassride.com, to find a filter you like.
Kinda funny how one of fass marketing points is that they are quieter but in this video the airdog was quieter than the fass.
joe Wolters doesn’t really matter just look at how much better it did saving your engine from water
Someone isn't happy about their air dog lol.
Timmy k who ??
Joe Walters.. .... I have a Fuelab 200 lift pump and its been good to me. Got a good deal on it or I'd have a Fass anyday.
I haven't heard a quiet FASS Pump yet. I'm running the Airdog ll-4g and it's whisper quiet. Very Happy with Airdog.
Wait... Where’s the down tube on the fass that pulls fuel from the bottom of that filter? There’s one on the air dog, and there’s one on my fass on my 99 Cummins.... But there’s not one on that demo unit. Why did ya’ll remove that down tube/draw straw?
That tube is actually on the pressure side of the pump. It is part of how the air is separated from the fuel. We use this display to show the difference in our water separation compared to the competition. We use both our regular length XWS-3002 and PF-3001 filters as well as our extended length XWS-3002 XL and PF-3001 XL filters on this display. Leaving the tube out makes it easier (and cleaner) for us to change out the XWS-3002 XL when we are using this display at a show.
@@FASSFuelSystems but I’m also thinking that tube would’ve been low enough in the filter to grab the separated water. Not trying to be a jerk here, just saying that that tube draws from the bottom. I can totally be wrong, and I like my fass. But I do think you’ll end up with water on that pressure side if there’s that much in the tank.
How do you drain the XWS 3002? Or do you only replace it? Also do you need to prime the water separator? Or only the 3001 filter? Thank you in advance
Awesome question and you don't have to. Here is a link to a video on our RUclips channel that we send showing how to prime the system. ruclips.net/video/lpuNbRQTQdI/видео.html
@@FASSFuelSystems thank you very much and I look forward to keep shopping through you guys
Why is there no drain on the filter to drain water? You have to change the filter to get the water out it cannot be drained, it is trapped in the media of the filter is that what he said?
The XWS-3002 and XWS-3002 XL Extreme Water Separators trap water in the element of the filter.
Gday mate will that also work on an Diesel engine that’s not a common rail???
Yes
How much is for the instalation on semi truck vnl D13
We appreciate you reaching out about this, and installation will depend on what shop you take it to along with their labor rate.
If you like we'd be happy to send you a link with the closest dealers to you. What is your zip code, and we can get you that link?
Why doesn't the Fass system have a pickup tube on it like all other titanium series? Another question is when I got mine new the water separator was reverse to the placement now?
Awesome question, and on the newer Titanium series we changed filter placement. The particulate filter will be first to pull all the larger debris, and particles out of the fuel, and then sent to the water separator to complete the polishing process. On all newer systems, we also use a draw straw to combat 1/4 thank issues. If you have any more questions or need anything at all you are also welcome to reach out to our service team at 1-866-769-3747. Thank you!
How does a person know when its time to change the water catching filter?
Thank you for reaching out! Great question and we do suggest that the filters are changed every 20k miles, or 1 year whichever comes first.
@@FASSFuelSystems
Thanks for the reply.
I should have added this.
Are you basing that interval on milage?
How about a class 8 truck?
Milage is a lot higher.
And fuel purchased sometimes at unknown fuel stops.
Where a person may pick up extra water. If the filter medium gets saturated. How can you tell?
Thanks again for your help and support.
Why did u change filters again ? Why don’t u make filter for the air dog and make more $$$$$ ?
Hi Hunter! Thanks for reaching out. Our new Extreme Water Separator is even more efficient than our previous design. Regarding a filter for our competitor's system, we haven't heard anything from our management team on something like that. However, if we do, we'll be sure to share!
what happens when the filter is saturated does it stop fuel flow? I’d rather have a little water then no diesel....
Your 10 amp fuse pops then you replace the filter and the fuse and your good
Connor Barnedt so during the time it takes for the amperage to get above ten.... and after since the truck doesn’t know how much fuel is going to your high pressure pump?
How often do you need to change filters in the FASS?
Hey Mark, thank you for reaching out. We do suggest that you change the filters every 20-30k miles or once a year whichever comes first.
One thing I usually do suggest though regardless of the brand is keeping an extra set of filters on you. Just in case a station you fill up at has watered-down fuel.
fassride.com/products/fass-fuel-filter-selector/
Interesting, however, and stop me if I am wrong as I am new to fuel filtration, but isn’t the Airdog filters used to prevent air in the system and not necessarily water? If that last statement holds truth, that is comparing two dissimilar products. My real question is, could anyone please provide me with disinterested product testing of this FASS system, a CAT filter, or any other reputable filter manufacturer (similar to what Project Farm offers)? Thanks in advance. I am personally leaning towards the just released new product by SPE (2020 F350 PSD). I have to do all that I can to protect that lily ass Bosch CP4 pump. Such a huge fail on behalf of FoMoCo.😞
Great question, and we will be happy to help. We have a link here that will take you to the 3rd party testing results we had done on our filters.

@@FASSFuelSystems i did, all questions answered. Thanks guys
@@satanicexistentialist6631 Sure thing!
So without a drain you cant clear the water from the filter, does the filter have a sensor to detect the water and when the filter requires changing? How much water will the filter hold? I notice you changed it to filter out the rest of that water. It looks like it wouldnt hold much at all.
The XWS-3002 will hold approximately 120 ML of water, most diesels will not see that much contamination level throughout the filter service interval. The service interval is 20,000-30,000 miles depending on fuel quality. If the XWS-3002 becomes completely plugged with water, it will stop fuel flow and blow the FASS fuse preventing water from reaching your injection system. If it didn't stop fuel flow, you would have water pass through and shut the engine off due to fuel system damage. We're saving injection systems!
We often see much higher levels of contamination here in Australia due to wide temperature variations causing condensation in servo tanks. A typical 4x4 might carry between 140L and 290L of fuel. I do like the idea of the fuse. Do you have an Australian distributor?
@@VEOPengineering
The XWS-3002 will hold 120ML of water, even with higher contamination it would still work out great. We also offer an extended length version the XWS-3002XL which offers 44% greater capacity.
Yes, we have a few distributors in Australia. Please follow this link to locate your nearest: fassride.com/locate-a-dealer/
Why mileters? Most Americans don't have a clue of the metric system unless it is a wrench. If you want to say "X" mileters then give the rough translation so people can visualize the volume of water added.
Also, please drain the water out of both filters to drive home the water separation difference.
Would you recommend keeping the stock fuel filters on a 2017 Ram 6.7 if I install the new style pump? It has the WIF sensors.
You are totally bypassing the stock system.
How do know when the filters are full of water?
If the filter were to fill with water the fuse in the FASS wiring harness would pop.
What 😊happens to the water though?
It's trapped in the element itself! Unlike older style filters, ours traps the water within, instead of pooling it at the bottom (which can lead to damage in some situations).
I know I’m a little late to ask but if you would change out the air dogs filters and replace them with larger and higher micron filters would it work better and smoother or would it just slow the whole system down. Just curious how it would perform.
Hey Nick, that is a great question and I do apologize as we wouldn't be able to verify 3rd party testing with different filters on the AirDog.
If you have any other questions or need anything at all you are more than welcome to reach out to us at 636-433-5410. Thank you!
How often should the filters be changed on the fass system?
Hey John! We typically recommend every 20-30,000 miles, or once per year if driven less.
@@FASSFuelSystems awesome thank you.
@@johnstein3264 Sure thing!
So how often do you change the water separator filter ?
Lol as often as you think or when you're truck just shuts down because its fuel starved, this pump shut off fuel when the water filter gets full.
Depending on your fuel quality, the general service interval is 20,000-30,000 miles. These filters will shut down fuel flow, only in the event of running into extremely contaminated fuel. Other than that, they will trap the water and still allow unrestricted fuel flow.
hypothetically if your pump failed, would the lml still get fuel the old way? Looking at buying soon
No I got fass on my lml and if it gells up or gets to much water it blow fuse and cp4 cant pull fuel through the pump
Justin Frakes does that happen offen
Sorry but did I just miss something here ???? Why did you change filters on the second test ???? I think you are hiding something here !!!! I guess I will have to do more research with a more unbias company !!! I am not convinced !!! If you stood behind your product you wouldn't have changed filters !!!! Now I ask you to change my mind !!!!
I was sold on the fass until he changed the filter, but i guess it would have locked up the filter with all that water. When you could have just drained the airdog. Not say what is better but i think the fass could leave you stranded if you dont carry extra filters. But the airdog could trash your system if that water passes. Still try to figure out what Susie gunna buy.
Clearly the Airdog doesn't filter the water as well
He put the XL filters on it. So it could trap more water in the filter vs the standard size one.
😂😂😂he thinks we are stupid 😂😂😂and didn’t see that 😂😂😂
He simply put the XL extreme water filter on. Your mind doesn’t need to be changed on anything. It’s your lack of basic intelligence. Go buy the airdog or any other competitors system and while you’re at it order a complete new fuel system to because you will be needing one. Leave the FASS for me and the pros.
Cant rely on this test. I'm pretty sure he just cross threaded the first filter he screwed onto the airdog. If he didnt cross thread it, something isnt right. Never seen a filter take so much effort to screw on.
Thanks for reaching out, David! We actually have mobile versions of this test that we take across the country to various events. If you ever happen to run into us at a show, race, or trade event, definitely feel free to look it over!
We assure you that everything with this test, and our mobile displays, is above-board. There is also 3rd-party water separation data available on our blog showing the drastic differences between our Extreme Water Separator and our competitor's.
Clearly the filters have been tampered with. Looks like cling wrap he removed. I smell a SCAM
Ya because air dog would never sue them for falsifying/scamming the test lol.
Why was there no suction tube on the FASS? Why did he put the filter on the water separator side and the water separator on the filter side with the Airdog??
