AirDog vs. FASS
I own an AirDog and have been very happy with it. Install was a breeze and I have literally never had a single problem with it.
I'm just wondering why the FASS system seems to be more popular? Especially when I constantly see problems with it (loud motor, brush problems etc?).
I'm just wondering what draws people to them versus an Airdog. I'm not trying to start a fight. Just trying to understand it. I've got another 24v that I am planning on putting some type of a pump on and was just wondering.

Air dog uses 1/2in. fuel lines and the fittings are superior. Never herd of a noisy one. I have the Air Dog and is working great have to put my head out the door to hear it run. Not as long of a warranty on the Air Dog but the warranty is only as good as the company issuing it. Hope not to have any need for the warranty. ED

Problems with the FASS are, I believe, related to the large number of units out there ... and have all been addressed. Still a very small percentage of the total # (that were installed properly to start with )
Personally glad Air Dog is back to give FASS some competition! Both are great top end fuel systems.

FYI
To update the warranty comment for Ed Ke6bnl, the AirDog now has a 6 year Limmited Express Warranty, and a 90 Day Satisfaction Guarantee!
For RowJ's comment about the AirDog being 'out of production/sold/ off the market', the AirDog was never off the market. It was just not promoted. RowJ was right when he said sold. Ekstam Worldwide , Inc., the Licensee of the Fuel Preporator technology, was sold Feb., 2005. The new owner and Licensee decided to promote only the 450 & 650 series to the tug boat industry and let the class 8 and pickup truck business idle. He also renamed the company PureFlow Technologies, Inc.
March, 2007, PureFlow Technologies was bought back and is now under my control again. It has taken a few months to regroup the company and product line.
Half inch lines on the AirDog 100 may be an overkill. However, making the 1/2inch lines standard for the AirDog install kit was a simple decision. We saw that the cost of the 1/2' line over the 3/8" was so slight, it was an opportunity to give you more than was needed for the same price. Quality starts with a great product, it includes personal service both before and after the sale, and fair prices. As the old saying goes, "you ain't seen nothin' yet"!
I hope this may answer some of your questions.

The AirDog is an original product. It is a fuel filtration delivery system that removes water, particulates (3, 5, & 10 micron StrataPore filters available) and entrained air, and maintains a positive pressure to the engine with a regulated fuel flow. It can be equipped with a pressure gauge or indicator light to monitor pressure. It is available at 100 or 150 gph and comes complete with installation kit. The electric motor has the same brushes and commutator plates as its big brother used on class 8/semi's. Those systems have been documented to go 600,000 to 800,000 miles on the big trucks, a very reliable system.
This system is not just a pump. I hope that answers your question.
