Review on πŸš› Enhance Diesel Truck Performance with RDP Fuel Tank Sump & Integrated Return for AirDog, FASS Systems - Dodge Cummins, GM Duramax, Ford Powerstroke by Jarod Berthelson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great if you seal the ports properly (flat rubber or teflon washer recommended)

Pallet tub was easy too install and the price was really good compared to big brands. It's a little bulky and obviously hangs about 1 inch below the fuel tank. The design is good but you can tell which side of the forward and reverse. I installed this on a 2004 Ford F-250 and decided to modify the fuel tank skid plate to retain the protection (see photo). Take the time to cut the hole with the included hole saw (I used a wire brush for the inside of the pan.) For added leak protection I used Tef pubic tape on two screws and the bottom pieces together. When I first put everything together, I filled the tank with just a few gallons of fuel to check for leaks. Yes, about every minute a drop would leak out of the teflon threaded fittings onto the brass threaded fittings. So I drained the fuel and removed them. The second time was successful, I wrapped the threads in Teflon, put a thin O-ring on the fittings, then cleaned the pan threads well and lightly applied Permatex (sealant) BLACK OIL RESISTANT RTV inside and on the brass threads. After the hardware was tightened, I stuffed the RTV over all the hardware and let it sit for a few hours before adding fuel. No more leaks! I think chamfering to fit the o-ring will solve the problem, but a flat rubber or teflon washer would probably work as well.

Pros
  • 3" hole saw included for easy installation / Constructed from T6 aircraft grade aluminum / Works great with standard and aftermarket fuel tanks
Cons
  • Reliability
