Build Your Own Fuel Injection Computer

Its main goal was to create a simple fuel-only controller that could be easily reproduced with cost-effective components.' If you've got the time and the skills, it beats spending $2000."

    Where, exactly, is the fuel injected into? The PSU? Is that safe? Am I allowed to use diesel fuel? Pure alcohol? What if it runs out of gas? Can I piss into the tank? This fuel injected computer seems silly to me. I mean, it's got to smell bad. And the fire danger. Bam!

    I suppose we can count on the average nerd's life expectancy dropping sharply if these suckers ever become mainstream.
