In  pickup trucks like the Dodge/Cummins 6L they have a common rail as  well.
It's amazing how much pressure is created in the new diesel fuel  rails these
days.


You would not want to have your hands under one of the injectors when it
"fires".  When I was working as a mechanic, we had an injector test jig  where
you could put the specified pressure on the injector and the activate  it.  I
have seen guys get their hands or a finger under the injector by  accident and
the diesel fuel would go right into the hand or finger.  A few  lost thier
fingers as a result.

Some of these develop 2500 psi and up.  Newer ones, I understand, can  be
well over 3000 psi.
