FASS cavitation noise fix?
Where can I find a good kit to reduce the cavitation noise in the tank, it gets louder every day. I assume there is a fuel module pickup replacement or modification kit out there somewhere.
I would prefer to have a prebuilt kit as I do not want to "try" differnt things as taking the tank out is a pain.

Might want to try the 5 gallon bucket test in my sig and see if this fixes the noise you are hearing. You could also be sucking air at any of the fittings on the suction line. Double check all the fittings. Let me know what you find on with the test....its outlined in our trouble shooting manual in my sig.

Sorry dan I haven't had a chance to do the 5 gallon test but I think i will just order the parts and fix it, heres the question it doesn't it replace the sending unit obviously being the fuel level float is attached the only thing it is doing is providing a better fuel intake point by the looks of the pictures thereby hopefully fixing a bad sending unit as far as losing prime and also hopefully reducing the caviation noise I am having trouble with. Am I correct in that statement?

Dan,do you think the new kits are in stock at most suppliers now you had said there where some changs in fittings or somthing.
If the noise doesn't go away then what, motor bearings?

dan I talked to mark at PDR and he said by using the kit you stated I will lose the bottom 1/4 of my tank for usable fuel. Is this true as I need to range of my truck and don't want to be stopping every 500 km for fuel.

Its all how its installed. WE suggest setting it up the width of 2 quaters off the bottom of the tank. You want it close......i know Brad runs his pretty dry with out any issues. NOW low tank and parking on big hills dont mix very well. Its will be some what of an adjustment...but i have seen seveal truck run to the fuel light comes on....i would not go any lower than that. If one wanted to install it using the stock fuel module cup....That has worked with with good success for other people. Shouldn't be reinventing the wheel.
