Re: What does FICHT stand for ???

Ficht GmbH, a German firm, developed a DFI system called Ficht Fuel Injection (FFI).<br /><br />Ficht was invented during the Cold War by an East German, Wolfgang Heimberg. He envisioned his system as a bolt-on for the Trabant automobile. Trabants are notorious for spewing smoke and guzzling fuel. Heimberg wanted to clean up the Trabby's act. But the Iron Curtain fell. <br /><br />Heimberg relocated to West Germany and went to work for Ficht Gmbh. Then came further development of the hydraulic shock method of injecting gasoline into a combustion chamber. Eventually, the Ficht blueprints ended up in Waukegan. A deal was struck for the intellectual property rights and the rest of the story is still being written. <br /><br />So, Ficht is a name of a company.

Thanks Bear,<br />I've been wondering about that for a long, long time. I'd always thought FICHT was an acronym for something and tried in vain to figure out what it could be. <br />Backlash
