Common-rail puzzle

THE term common-rail refers to the common fuel rail that delivers the fuel to the fuel-injectors, but common-rail is used to describe the group of diesels which have electronic engine control much as modern petrol engines do. In the common-rail diesel, the fuel is supplied at very high pressure to a single rail which feeds every injector. The injectors themselves are electronically controlled, which means the fuel injected can be very accurately delivered. It all means more power, lower consumption, a cleaner exhaust. The Mazda Bravo doesn't have a common-rail diesel, and Mazda could not say whether one was on the horizon. Check other brands, because it's unlikely others have them either.
