Traditional low-pressure carburetor style fuel systems are not capable of supplying the higher fuel pressure demands of an EFI fuel system. High-pressure fuel pumps, return lines, pre-filters and a lot of fuel hose have to be added whenever an upgrade to an EFI system is made. FiTech now offers a convenient Fuel Command Center that allows the user to keep his conventional low-pressure fuel system, and still meet the high pressure demands of an EFI upgrade.
According to the folks at FiTech, the Fuel Command Center Assembly works by mounting the assembly in the engine compartment, or anywhere in the chassis if space is limited. The low-pressure fuel line that went to the carburetor is connected to the “IN” port on the assembly, and a high-pressure fuel hose, that is supplied with the assembly, is plumbed from the assembly to the high pressure inlet port on the EFI system.
The system operates by having the stock low-pressure fuel pump feed fuel into the assembly’s fuel sump-tank. A high-pressure fuel pump is submerged inside the sump that supplies fuel under pressure to the EFI system. A float controls how much fuel is allowed to enter the sump tank by automatically stopping the fuel from entering the sump tank when the correct fuel level is reached.
With the engine running, the Fuel Command Center pumps fuel to the EFI system at the correct pressure range, while running cooler and quieter than most, because the pump is submerged.
Ultimately, FiTech’s new Fuel Command Center prevents plumbing new lines and buying expensive fittings to configure the fuel requirements for an upgraded EFI system.
It is capable of delivering enough fuel to maintain up to an 800 horsepower engine. The Fuel Command Center can be used with any other competitive aftermarket or factory EFI installation.
