I had most of the same questions, specifically about testing and redundancy,
and had pretty much decided to stick with my original plan to buy from
Tracy, but was curious as to what others thought.  After I buy my unit(s)
from Tracy, I will happily join the chorus of people who think he
undercharges.  But AFTER!

Thank you, everyone, for your well reasoned responses.  I appreciate the
time they took to write.

Michael

From my perspective (25 years in electronics) the injector driver circuitry
would probably work, but as others have pointed out to what degree and with
what service life. Secondly, it doesn't provide anything of use to most of
us with EC2s/EC3s ... you still need to drive either 2 or 4 injectors and a
fuel pump. The trickle-down gravity-fed fuel system, as a back-up was the
most interesting aspect of the article to me ... that would really extend
the airtime after an alternator failure if the fuel pumps and injectors
could be turned off and some basic limp-home mode could be achieved.
Otherwise we all need to know the battery life of our installations, add a
second battery, etc.

Michael,
Everyone's interested, but not enough information.
PL is a master of the great ideas, but I don't know how many actually come
to fruiton.
