You know that it is only recently that gasoline automobiles had direct
fuel injection.  Diesel engines have used direct injection for ages
and required almost 800 lbs of fuel pressure utilizing engine driven
pumps.  Gasoline engines in prior years used fuel injection into the
intake manifold.  They used electric pumps with only about 80 lbs of
injector pressure.
