But as the title of the thread is "supermarket fuel", let's confine

ignite a fuel-and-air mixture by compression, rather than injecting fuel
into combustion-heated air?

Not made in the last 25 years, no



So which car/van/lorry used manifold injection in 1990, or 1980, or 1970,
or 1960, or even 1950?

none. twas a tractor


So which part of " let's confine ourselves to car (and van/lorry) engines.
" did you fail to understand?


The part that came after I had made that comment.


I don't believe the tractor was only 25 years old either.


Believe what you want. I cant stop acts of faith and dogma ;-)
