        As I recall from past experience, in general, the aircraft fuel
        injection systems are mechanical and not electronic (like
        DigiJet/fant) and are relatively simple to adjust and repair.

        It's not a fair comparison to the Vanagon equivalent...but if I lived
        where the CleanAirAct emission regulations didn't apply, I'd ditch
        my Vanagon's mighty fine Digifant FI, too...
