Don...

Does Art realize that he indeed does have an evil "electronic" computer in 
his radio? He may think that it is an extensive mechanical adding machine, 
or a "computer" type used to point WWII naval guns.    I will ask next

Art does not have a computer.  Except in his radio.

ensures a relatively constant pressure on the fuel head than the 
traditional
tank, IMHO.  It seems to be working for him.
