Actually the high pressure area is at the tip of the injector which is
located far in the center of the cylinder head.  Then again the injector is
only about 1.5 inches in diameter and 8 inches long.  The high pressure is
necessary to cause an adequate atomization and still be pressed into the
cylinder when the flame front is active.  Remember the diesel fuel in burnt
as it is injected. Thus you have to overcome combustion pressures.
