[Diy_efi] 94 fuel pressure

[Bobby Yates Emory]

Clayton,

Diesel and gas don't mix - the latest diesel injection system are
conceptually more like the gas, in that they use a fuel log kind of
like what is on a gas engine.  But the details are totally different. 
(I use Gmail for email and it put an ad next to your post.  The
article referenced was about a new Mercedes diesel with 1600 bar
injection pressures - about 24,000 psi.  They are now using piezzo
injectors rather than solenoid and are injecting 5 times per power
event.)

I remember gas injection pressures being about 70 psi.

Perhaps you are talking about max input pressure to the lift pump on
Powerstrokes.  I have heard that they don't like anything over 12.

Are you building a diesel or gas?

Or maybe I missed the point?

Good luck,
Bobby
