Don't be naughty. I was talking about electronic fuel injection, which is a complex thing on a petrol engine.
In a Diesel, it can be a relatively simple mechanical assembly. Admittedly, this is the weak point of any Diesel engine. The beauty of a Diesel is that the fuel self-ignites, so you dispense with the entire ignition chain. The mixture is done with an injection ramp, so no carburetor either, and much less sensitivity to the proportions in the mixture. Mind you, I am not considering a tractor engine! In France, a good two thirds of all cars in the streets are Diesel-powered, and in Germany, an Diesel car won a speed race recently, so high performance, high reliability Diesel engines are plentiful. Only a question of choosing one and making the conversion. My next aircraft will be a Diesel KR derivative, probably a twin.

Is there some new system out there?
