Wow! All I can say is , wow!
Diesel is injected at high pressure (up to 1,800 bar) giving a constant, even and complete combustion – and more miles per gallon. 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.

This engine won't even tolerate bad diesels, most of the newer CRDI diesel engines are facing abysmal pump failures in India due to bad diesel. Just imagine this.

Do a Google search for "CP3 pump" to learn more about Bosch's HPCR pump technology.

Swarms of butterflies might cause traffic issues though.
