Is 1800 bar even possible? That's like, umm, 26,000 p.s.i.! Yikes! I wonder how they a: manage to compress/pressurise the fuel and b: how they manage to inject it without blasting through the pistons? Talk about some critical timing issues! This is not an engine which would tolerate much wear.

26,000 + PSI is standard for modern common rail engines. Dodge has had the setup in the Cummins powered trucks since 2003.
Do a Google search for "CP3 pump" to learn more about Bosch's HPCR pump technology.
