Description
Overview
The FASS PF3001XL Extended Length Particulate Filter is a purpose-built suction-side fuel filter engineered by FASS Fuel Systems to work as part of a complete FASS filtration setup on Truck/SUV fuel systems. Rated at 144 microns, this particulate filter is designed to capture larger fuel particulates before they ever reach the pump, protecting your fuel system’s internal components and keeping performance consistent over time. If you’re comparing fuel filters for a diesel fuel filter change or trying to understand fuel filter replacement cost on a FASS-equipped truck, the PF3001XL is the OEM-spec replacement part for the suction side of the system.
Key Benefits
Fuel filtration isn’t just about keeping fuel clean — it directly affects how your fuel system sounds and performs. The 144-micron media in the PF3001XL is engineered to drastically reduce cavitation on the suction side of the FASS system, which in turn increases flow properties and lowers overall sound output. For anyone who has dealt with a noisy or inefficient lift pump setup, upgrading to the correct particulate filter can make a noticeable difference in both performance and drivability. This is the kind of fuel filter fuel system component that pays for itself by protecting downstream parts from larger contaminants that a standard inline fuel filter might miss.
Important Compatibility Notes
The PF3001XL is not a stand-alone, drop-in replacement for older FASS filters. It must be used in conjunction with the FASS XWS3002XL filter. These two filters work together as a matched pair: the XWS3002XL is installed on the pressure side of the system, while the PF3001XL is placed on the suction side. This new PF3001XL/XWS3002XL combination replaces the discontinued FF-3003/FF-3010 and FS-1001/FS-1020 filters, and the older and newer filters cannot be mixed or used in combination with one another. If you’re planning a fuel filter change on an existing FASS system, confirm which generation of filters your unit currently uses before ordering so the correct suction and pressure side filters are paired together.
Fitment
Designed for Truck/SUV applications running a compatible FASS Fuel Systems setup, the PF3001XL is sold each and identified under AAIA ID FKRH for easy cross-referencing when using a fuel filter finder or parts lookup tool.
Highlights
- 144-micron particulate filter rated for suction-side filtration
- Reduces cavitation and increases flow properties within the FASS system
- Lowers sound output for a quieter-running fuel system
- Removes larger fuel particulates to help protect downstream components
- Must be paired with the FASS XWS3002XL pressure-side filter
- Replaces discontinued FF-3003/FF-3010 and FS-1001/FS-1020 filters (not interchangeable with them)
