Direct injected cars are nothing new. Diesels run their injectors much higher than 2000psi for hundreds of thousands kilometers. Ford is just shit at engineering.
Don't try and bring diesel into this. They're pretty different. It also doesn't cause nearly the fire risk when they leak some fuel.
Also, they absolutely leak fuel. I've seen loads of diesels with fuel leaks (I drive a lot of diesels for work). But like I said, them leaking a bit isn't really a cause to sound the alarm bells for a fire, cause diesel fuel isn't a risk like that.
High pressure side leaks? If a common rail diesel has a high pressure leak the engine will most likely shut down due to pressure loss.
Not sure why you're downvoted. They can't open the injectors without enough pressure.
Right, and on newer emissions systems the engines use the high pressure to help with more complete combustion allowing for lower soot, meaning less DPF issues. While this does cause higher NOx , we are able to clean it up with SCR and flowing more DEF. Ford is being lazy on this, but the issue is not high pressure. I also understand the differences between gasoline and diesel, and again, Ford could develope a system that does not fail, and then dumps gasoline on the ground hahaha. I'm saying this as a master diesel engine tech with 12 years of experience. I'm not rooting my own horn, but just letting people know I do have industry experience.
