Wonder why all modern systems are ALL electric pumps ???
Erf
I suspect it is because of the higher pressures involved with electronic fuel injection. It's probably much easier to achieve those pressures with an electric pump than to design and build a high pressure mechanical pump. Think about how expensive it is to replace a fuel injection pump on a diesel for instance.
