Fuelpak failed
recently installed a fuelpak model LED on my 2008 Heritage Softail.
After about 500-miles, it failed. I was a long way from home on a two lane road, and luckly coasted to a spot with just enough room to get the bike off the pavement.
Everything was running fine, and then the bike just shut down. Tied to start it back up, but nothing - - turned everything off, then back on, and could hear the fuel pump running. I again tried to start it, but no go.
I removed the fuelpak, plugged the stock set up together, and the bike started just fine.
Anybody had this happen? And if so, what was the solution?
I will contact Vance & Hines in the morning to see what they have to say.
Thanks,
Balloo

With all manufacturing, especially electronics, there will be a percentage of failures. You unfortunately got a bad unit. V&H is a stand-up company and will replace your unit. My Fuel Pak has been operating for 6 years.

I still am concerned about future failure, but based upon the positive responses to me from you folks on the forum, I feel better.

Any piggy back system can fail.. we hear of that happening in at times. not often but it just another thing that can go bad.
That's one of the reasons I went with the SERT in 07, It reprograms the ECM, but if the ECM goes out I am still in trouble.
more than likely once you get your new one you'll be fine..
