| Whereas in conventional diesel engines injection pressure is generated for each injector individually, a common rail engine stores the fuel under high pressure in a central container ("common rail") and delivers it to the individual injectors on demand. Benefits of common rail injection are reduced noise levels, stronger performance, improved emission control and greater efficiency.
