You dont have to delete doesnt hurt to keep it in there. Just extend its change interverals. If it was me id get the fass delete bowl for factory spot then just it case i would need to i could still prime the system
They are only "flow-thru" under part-throttle regular driving conditions. Not great when getting on the highway, though.
But definitely not at WOT.
Also helps to unhook the power, if the fuse didn't blow. If it's the electrical side of the motor that crapped out, having power to it can lock it in place.
You'll still be pulling fuel through the FASS filter, but might as well as keep the stock filter and double the mileage between changes, or whenever the truck tells you to.
Extra filtration is a good thing. Especially for me, since I have the CP4, lol.

Have my stock filter and housing/lines all completely removed. If you have the factory filter still in place it is supposed to flow through, but when mine went down last winter it would not flow through and I was stuck on the road, that was when I still had the factory setup and a cp4. Now have a cp3 and my fass feeds directly to my cp3, so if my pump dies again the truck will just die, no vaccum in the system anymore.
When a gear rotor positive displacement pump like the FASS or Airdog quits disconnecting the power supply will not make a bit of difference for the fuel to flow through the unit.

I left my stock filter. I have 45k on my LML already and still haven't changed the fuel filter. I did the same thing on my LMM and cut the filter open once, it looked brand new inside, air dog caught all the trash and water. Just leave it on the truck...
Just going by information passed on. Worth a shot when you're stranded on the side of the road, lol
I left the factory head installed. Worst case if something happens, you can always bypass the FASS with a hose connector and be back on the road.
Hi; I know this is an old thread, but I have a question. I have an "02 LB7 stock. If I go to a Fass system, can I just simply leave the 3 micron Donaldson filter on the stock filter housing? Is this too much filtration? Or should I buy the filter delete setup and leave the primer in place? Thanks!
You can leave it. Just change the filter when you install the fass and forget about it..
