	My '73 220D has this type of pump. Injectors open at
140 or maybe 180 bar, if I remember right. Once they're
open, I doubt the pressure rises as far as 400 bar though.

	BTW my "Diesel Engine and Fuel System Repair" textbook
says the PE-P series can be used with nozzle opening
pressures of 10,000 psi, usually on engines with more than
200 hp.
