OCBR 2015 Pic Thread -- UPDATED - SHUTTERFLY PAGE

I had problems with fuel delivery on my FITECH EFI system. After being pulled back to the pavilion 3 times by Alan Stark (Thank Goodness for him), I'm running their EFI system with the Command Center, (remote sump tank fed by my mechanical pump) Runs fine on the street, but basically first trip out on the trails ran great for about 30 minutes and acted like my fuel pump died or ran out of fuel, got towed in, got it back running, and basically the same thing happened, actually burned up the high pressure fuel pump, replaced that, then still acted like it was running out of fuel on the trail, no fuel coming from stock mechanical pump, so I replaced that. Still died on trail, Ran great all over town. FITECH Support was great, even got to talk to the Designer of the Command Center. So after replacing one high pressure pump, one low pressure pump and talking to FITECH support, Ken, who designed the Command Center suggested that I disable the ROLLOVER Check Valve in the Command Center, that fixed it. So the problem was the machining tolerances were so tight that when pressure built up in the Command Center the vapors were pushing the check ball closed, causing all the problems. They had already had that problem and made a design change. They are replacing my fuel pump and the Command Center under warranty. So its all good, gave them some free R&D I guess. After disabling that check valve the system ran flawlessly on all types of terrain.

Man, I know you were aggravated but glad to hear you got it worked out. It's all part of wheeling I guess. Hope to see you following us next year.

I'm just happy to know what the problem was, I think it will be fine from here on out. I will get a Spanner wrench for the tool box in case I ever need to swap fuel pumps again. That was kind of a headache. It was nice to finally drive a trail without my hero Alan Stark pulling me back to the pavilion. Will definitely be back next year. Planning for the LEBC Round up Next!!

I got to spend a whole day on the level 4 and 5 trails with Darwin. My rig will never see those trails so it was a pretty cool experience.

Here's how not to end the trip going home. #4 fuel line decided to dislodge and spray fuel all over the place. Back on the road again, almost home.

That's no good. You make it home?

The third picture is really a good one of Darwin. I always did like black and whites in some situations.

I loved the way all the colors looked. It's a beautiful rust bucket, as he referred to it.

We were about the 5th bronco back and there was a lady taking video with a cell at the park gate, but don't know who she was.
