lift pump + filter??

[chevmike]

I have been looking at the Kennedy Twin lift pumps. Looks to be a great kit. Is it necessary to run another filter down there. I see alot of kits that come that way and alot of people adding a second fuel filter. Is it really worth it. I dont see that it is, but I'm not an expert. What are your opinions?

I don't know about the Kennedy kit, but for what it's worth I'm running the FASS 150 gph and it is the style with 2 filters.

I've never done any long term tests, but I figured if I was going to buy a good pump, I'd make sure the fuel was filtered before it entered...

I got a frame rail filter from Raycor and have 1 KD upstream and one downstream of the filter
most fuel filters are cheaper than the ones we get at GM and your fuel can never be to clean can it?

i went with the Air Dog 150 gph kit with 2 filters, 1 has a water seperator and the other seprerate out the air bubbles so you get consistant fuel - at least that's what they say. Another filter can't hurt.

Not only does the air dog seperate air but that second filter is also a 3 micron filter unlike the oem which I think 10 micron.

It just seams like a waste. I mean obviously it will clean better. But I havnt heard of anyone having problems from dirty fuel (other then a clogged filter) just seams like another problem to me. I am still looking at the kennedy kit, I can always add another filter.

Fass and PPE are other 2 choices. they are not flow through are they?

What are pro's and con's to these units?

The reason that I think it is a good idea to add one with a filter is so you don't have dirty fuel running through your lift pump. FASS and PPE are both louder than Kennedy or AirDog pumps but both have good reputations.

yes and i love my pump bein loud :rofl:

I didn't buy mine for the volume of sound - I bought it for the volume of flow. It just happens that it is quieter than a few other brands. In a diesel truck I don't see why anyone would worry about a pump's noise - then again some people don't want to hear turbo whistle.

:rofl: i know my pump flows volume the noise is an added bonus i love loud stuff.
