FLEECE FPE-34755 FUEL SYSTEM UPGRADE KIT WITH POWERFLO LIFT PUMP FOR 03-04 DODGE CUMMINS
Only from Fleece Performance Engineering, the FPE-34755 Fuel System Upgrade Kit with PowerFlo Lift Pump is a complete, in-tank fuel supply upgrade for your 2003–2004 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L Cummins. This kit includes everything you need to properly route, plumb, pump, and filter fuel, replacing dated frame-mounted lift pumps, solving quarter-tank starvation issues, and delivering the fuel volume your build needs.
At the heart of the kit is the PowerFlo in-tank lift pump, featuring dual OE-quality gerotor pumps capable of supporting up to 800+ rear-wheel horsepower. The active fill bucket design eliminates the need for tank sumps or draw straws and keeps the pickup fully supplied, even with low fuel levels. A Donaldson 3-micron fuel filter and water separator takes care of fine filtration, while a Fleece fuel filter delete and distribution block streamline the underhood plumbing and reduce restriction.
This kit installs using the factory tank opening and connections—no cutting big holes in the tank and no noisy external pump brackets. Operating pressure is maintained at approximately 15–17 psi at idle, and the system is validated for use with up to 20% biodiesel, giving you OEM-level drivability with serious performance headroom.

FAQ
Will this kit support my horsepower goals?The Fleece PowerFlo in-tank lift pump in this kit uses dual gerotor pumps and is rated to support approximately 800+ rear-wheel horsepower in a properly configured fuel system. That makes it an excellent choice for tuned and modified 5.9L Cummins trucks that have upgraded injectors and CP3 pumps.
Do I still need an external frame-mounted lift pump?
No. The PowerFlo is designed as an OEM-replacement in-tank lift pump that takes the place of noisy, external frame-mounted pumps and the associated plumbing. It uses the factory tank opening and connections while delivering significantly higher flow than the stock setup.
Does this kit fix the common quarter-tank fueling issue?
Yes. The PowerFlo module uses an active fill bucket design that keeps the pump supplied with fuel and eliminates the quarter-tank starvation issues common to many aftermarket external lift pump setups that rely on draw straws or poorly designed sumps.
Can I use this kit with biodiesel blends?
The lift pump assembly is validated for use with up to B20 biodiesel (20% biodiesel blend). Always follow Fleece’s guidelines for fuel quality and vehicle storage, especially in cold climates where fuel gelling can occur.
Do I need tuning after installing this kit?
In most cases, no additional tuning is required just for the lift pump and filtration upgrade. However, if you are also installing larger injectors, CP3 upgrades, or aggressive performance tuning, you should work with a qualified tuner so the entire fuel system and powertrain are calibrated correctly.
