I'm backing since I figured I can write something about SAE Supermileagein CSULA.
Currently, I am in charge of the Electrical section of the vehicle and a ACTING Captain of the team.
The vehicle uses a Briggs and Straton engine (Lawn mower engine) with an EFI kit from Ecotron.
Due to battery restriction (1.4 mah) of the Supermileage competition, I decided not to use the ignition coil and the fuel pump that came with the EFI kit. Reason is that those two components draw a lot of power from our battery. Instead, I am using magneto for spark plug and a mechanical fuel pump driven by crank shaft. The mechanical fuel has drawbacks since fuel pressure would drop gradually.
Here are a few pictures of the vehicle:
