Help me out here, guys.

The last diesels I ever worked on (and still do with my Deutz tractor and
John Deere mower) have an injector pump and solid injectors -- one per
cylinder; no moving parts except the poppet valve in each injector, and
the pump itself.

What y'all are talking about in this thread is an engine with
electrically-driven unit-injectors, but no description of the fuel
pressurization system, and no ideas about how one gets the 600-1000psi
necessary to pump the fuel and atomize it into the cylinder.

I guess I missed a decade or two with diesels; I didn't know that there
were electronic unit-injector diesels.

So... Help me out. How about some nice fleshy descriptions of what's
going on?
