FASS Platinum Series Information

FASS pumps are well-known throughout the industry for two distinct reasons. Not only are their products efficient at removing air from fuel, the company has made serious advancements in making their systems quieter. And, because FASS devices are the first choice of many consumers, they take constant abuse in vehicles worldwide, and suffer few serious issues as a whole.

The Platinum series device is FASS’s first and only all-in-one unit. It houses a single filter, which removes air, filters fuel, and separates water. FASS has successfully cut the need to have two filters, which means less maintenance is required to achieve the best results. It also fits the needs of truck owners who have little mounting space. The Platinum is priced less than the HD and Titanium devices, but all three designs share the same pump.

It is well known that users often desire more range per tank. The Platinum device has demonstrated in a public forum that it will add to your average MPG. In the March 2012 edition of Diesel Power Magazine, Christian Hazel wrote about how the magazine modified a 2007 Dodge Ram with a 6.7L Cummins engine to get more range. Hazel created a list of the modifications made to their truck, and only two of the additions were directly conducive to added fuel economy: the FASS Platinum system and the “Bully Dog Triple Dog GT tuner set to Tow mode.” The result was significant: Hazel notes that the Dodge Ram saw an average gain of 2.5 MPG.
One consumer posed an interesting question on a diesel enthusiasts' message board: Why put the filter on the pressure side instead of the vacuum side of the Platinum? There is apparently one simple reason: air separation. 

FASS strongly stands behind the reliability of this product. The Platinum series is protected by a lifetime warranty when installed on your light-duty pickup truck. The reason why FASS is able to offer a lifetime warranty on the Platinum’s pickup applications is because of the high-quality components used. FASS uses United States Military Defense Specification (MIL-SPEC) standard coatings for its billet 6061-T6 aluminum, one of the most durable manufacturing materials on the industrial market. The Platinum also uses top-shelf Viton O-rings from DuPont, one of the world’s largest chemical companies, instead of using the standard, less durable O-rings. FASS also uses time-tested science with mandrel bent fittings, which effectively reduces the Platinum's friction loss and turbulence.
