Yes, and no an aluminum and steel pump. The diesels run as high as 22Kpsi for DI.

 The only cons I see to the system is the need to run a pump to feed high pressure to the injectors. The plumbing must handle HIGH common rail pressures of 1100 bar. Plumbing like this has been used on diesels for ages though and has become ultra reliable. 

 


For the near future I may have to come out of retirement and build an engine. That 1100 bar, isn't that 16,170 PSI?


Sounds like there will be a pricey cast iron pump in there somewhere.
