Really?

When was the last time you had to fix the fuel pump on a 1953 Ford tractor?

They don’t sell fuel pumps on-line so we can tinker with custom engines – they are available because they have to be replaced occasionally.

I’ll buy your argument regarding electronics when it comes to ignition …

>Personally, with a high-wing aircraft, I’d like to see a purely mechanical fuel injection system fed with gravity fuel flow – do away with the redundant (electric) fuel pumps, 4 (electric) injectors.

While that may sound good, the odds are higher for a mechanical failure vs. a electronic failure.

This would explain why the auto industry made this transition.
