Ok, I don't know if I'm just Not understanding these stops, but they're supposedly for refueling.  Well, I attached a screenshot and I want you to look at the route and tell me if that's suitable for a B741.  You can see the message that says the 741 can't make it.  Why?  I need quick replies because these routes that need stops like this have high demand so give me anything you got.  Thanks

Do you have the same tech stops for your return leg? if not your pax capacity will be restricted for both directions

I think this is what your route is doing right now;


I presume you intended to have Nadi as the refuelling stop on the way back, but the way its set up right now it looks like both are on the way there and neither is on the way back.

I think what you are looking for is something like this (I'm based out of AKL, so couldn't do it for BNE);


To do this make sure you add the return fuelling stop to its own section, found in the 'Add technical stopover (refuelling stop)' under the destination section.

Elouda nailed it, you have set techstop on brisbane to lax, but did not set one on the returning flight, so it is trying to fly the whole distance on a tank which is not possible with the aircraft you planned to use.
