Why Choose the FASS Fuel Sump Kit?
The FASS Fuel Tank Sump Kit is ideal for those looking to enhance their vehicle’s performance without the hassle of complex installations. Its key benefits include:

Installing the FASS Fuel Sump Kit Step-by-Step:
- Locate the Lowest Point: Typically found below the fuel tank module. Use the dimple as a center point reference if available.
- Drill a Pilot Hole: Allow the fuel to drain.
- Create the Main Hole: Use a 3 and 3/4-inch hole saw to drill at the marked center point, then debur the hole and remove plastic shavings.
- Install the Sump: Position the SK5501 into the fuel tank, noting the keyway for proper alignment.
- Secure with O-Ring and Washer: Use grease to hold the O-ring in place and carefully thread the bolt into the sealing washer.
- Attach the Sump Bowl: Align the keyway on the sump clamp with the sump bolt, rotate to the desired position, and torque to 12 ft-lb.
- Connect Suction and Return Lines: Refer to the installation instructions to determine the appropriate fittings (PL1010 or PL1004) based on your suction line size.
Final Steps:
After completing the installation, add approximately 5 gallons of fuel to check for leaks. Ensure all connections are secure and properly sealed.
