[edit] Fuelling a Common Rail Diesel
So, does anyone know if it is possible to run such an engine using uk domestic heating oil, without needing any modifications or causing other engine problems?

[edit] Peugeot 908
I think the Peugeot 908 LMP1 is something worth noting in this article. Unfortunately I don't QUITE have all the details on it and even then I'm not certain how much of it would be suitable to insert in this article. What does everyone else here think?

Dear Author,
Volkwagen TDI is not a common rail diesel. Volkwswagen will probably be starting to build common rail diesel engines from 2007. Source: volkswagen Holland. Regards, Elias

How about Mercedes' CDI? They use it in many of their diesel cars.
- DCI is already inthe article. See DaimlerChrysler.

[edit] Fuel rail
What is a fuel rail ?. --Mac 11:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Main pipe carrying fuel.
And I believe the common rail was designed long before 1960 as there were Doxford engines were operating with common rail.
[edit] Common Rail vs. Unit Injectors
The first part of this article does not describe a common rail system as the term is used in the engine industry, but a unit injector system. A common rail system is an injection system where the fuel rail is held at injection pressure (1000 bar or higher) and the injectors do not perform any internal pressurization. A unit injector system does have a "fuel rail" but it is merely the passage that carries low pressure fuel to the injectors to be pressurized there. Calling this a common rail system to an engine designer will only lead to strange looks.
